Hello everyone, in the last few weeks I was working on making 9atom's libxml available as a separate bundle for easy installation. I also included xb (a beautifier) into the same package. My goal was to build an xslt processor.
However, a few features were completely missing in libxml, most importantly namespace support and xpath. I extended libxml to process namespaces properly (no validation though) and added xpath support as a separate library (because it can become quite big). For xpath, I created a small utility for querying xml data using xpath (xq). Furthermore I have a working (and wip), but very limited xslt processor. Both tools are in a separate repository (xmltools). Libxml and libxpath are available here: http://shithub.us/sirjofri/xml-9atom/HEAD/info.html https://git.sr.ht/~sirjofri/xml-9atom Xq and xslt are available here: http://shithub.us/sirjofri/xmltools/HEAD/info.html https://git.sr.ht/~sirjofri/xmltools I hope to extend xpath and xslt to make them work for most use cases, feedback and patches are welcome. Regarding xpath, I hope that the interface won't change at all. If someone could tell me more about the licensing stuff (since libxml is from 9atom/lucent license, but plan 9 was relicensed/MIT), I'm happy to add license files to the repository accordingly. Libxpath, xq and xslt can be considered as MIT, I just didn't add the license files yet. Also, since I'm only working on 9front, please let me know/send a patch if something doesn't work as expected on other plan 9 systems. sirjofri ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Te954fc89420dc526-M78a725684964ce34cb7fa911 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
