DOM - Any plans for Xpath?
DTD check - What about XSD? XSD is more popular now.
Also it would be nice to have something like JAXB
(automatically bind and map DLang struct/classes to/from XML).
But it may be part of next iteration or project.
PS
I find https://github.com/lodo1995/experimental.xml/issues/11
so actually you already answer to my questions about XSD &
XPath.
About XPath and XSD, you already found the answer.
About automatic binding (JAXB like), I wasn't planning it, but
the idea is that if we have a good, modular, extendable XML
library, then we can build everything on top of it as separate
projects. This is because one person cannot maintain all the
possible extensions (XPath, XSD, JAXB, XQuery, ...) and because
most of these should be provided by external packages, not by the
standard library (otherwise the std XML library would end up
being half the entire size of Phobos).
Thank you for your feedback.
