Hi all,
I've been working for a while producing a XPath 3.1 parser written in
Java possibly for consumption by Xalan-J. I've now completed ground work
related to that.
My XPath parser distributable is located at,
https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/org.apache.xalan.xpath.v31/xpath_parser_dev.zip
I request Xalan-J developers to please, download above mentioned file and
test the XPath parser, and provide feedback. The mentioned parser, has been
tested currently on windows platform.
To test the parser, run the file bin\test_xpath_parser.bat, type in the
XPath expression and press enter key. If the XPath expression obeys the
rules of the XPath language correctly, the input expression is echoed back,
otherwise an error message is emitted.
With this parser, I could notice that, QName's with namespace prefixes have
some issues during parsing. There could be few other areas of improvements
as well.
This work is not perfect yet, but I guess step in the right direction.
