Hello, I'm using the xmlreader interface of libxml2 2.6.11.
I've got a DTD with <dat> tag in <head> and <card>. I'm parsing the document with validation enabled and use a handwritten FSM to know where to write, like this: if state is head and tag is dat, then go to dat; if state is dat, then process it (fill my data structures); if state is card and tag is dat, go to dat. The problem is that I have to know where to write data while I'm in dat. Dat is relatively deep, so I don't want to duplicate it like head_dat and card_dat. For now, I'm going to use an additional structure with previous state (to know where to return to when I receive </dat>) and pointer to the target data structure (head's dat or card's dat). If I have more tags like dat in the future (elements that can occur in more than one element), I'll have to extend my state structure, and I don't like this. Does anyone see a better way to do that? I would appreciate any ideas. Please inform me if this is too abstract and I should give more details. With kind regards, Baurzhan. _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
