Hi,
I took at look at the XML possibilities - for Collada and in common:
1) the Collada DOM api uses libxml2 as defulat but we could add another
XML toolkit as plugin. The disadvantage is you have a DOM toolkit for
1.3 and a DOM toolkit for 1.4
2) the FCollada toolkit from Feeling Software Inc. also uses libxml2. A
version with another XML toolkit should also be possible but would be
more work!
3) a totally new solution could be done with the help from Gerrits code
for the discussion about using libxml2 or Expat (by the way - what about
Xerces) here's my personal attitude:
1) for libxml2 I don't see a dependecy on glib (checked on WindowsXP
with dependency walker)
2) libxml2 has a very active community and a large acceptance in the
(XML) community
3) there wasn't much development for Expat - don't know how good Expat
2.0 is
4) if we want to use just one shared XML toolkit I really would prefer
libxml2. I think 3rd party toolkits like Collada or others will mostly
use libxml2 as a shared XML toolkit. So we have less dependencies and
and even Schema or RelaxNG validation possibilities if needed.
If I could help with some XML development just drop me some lines...
Greets,
Patrik
