XML
Hi folx, Why is it that every time I spend 2 hours working with XML I discover a new twist that makes everything more complex than it used to be? And that's deliberately ignoring the advanced stuff. Anyway, does anyone know of any XML authoring tools (any platform) that let you compose XML against a Schema (latest spec), enforcing validation as you go? XML-Spy seems great in most respects but appears to have bugs in this last one. -- Jonathan Peterson Technical Manager, Unified Ltd, 020 7383 6092 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We've been using 0.9x versions of epcEdit for the last few months (http://www.tksgml.de/ maybe moved to http://www.epcedit.de/) but the recently released v1.0 only gives 60?90? days use before requiring payment. It has crashed a few times (usually on Widnos) but we've used it to create a 300+ page book and will do a second next month. Win32, Linux/i386 and Solaris versions available. Uses Tcl/Tk and a custom library. Some niggles with the user interface (cursor moving off-screen during a large paste, ...) but it absolutely enforces the schema and can show list the valid tags at each point. We'll be buying it before the end of June for I think c. us$400 -- Chris Benson
Re: OT: parsing xml
Mike Jarvis sent the following bits through the ether: Has anybody dealt with the data exchange xml standard called BMEcat? I've got to hack a parser together quickly and I was hoping to nick somebody else's code. It appears that no-one has answered this. In general, I find XML::Simple very useful (and simple!) for dealing with XML data structures. If you need anything more fancy, look into XML::XPath. Always remember to cache aggressively whenever you use XML. HTH, Leon -- Leon Brocard.http://www.astray.com/ Iterative Software..http://yapc.org/Europe/ ... All in a day's work for..."Confuse-a-Cat"!
OT: parsing xml
Sorry, no Buffy content follows: Has anybody dealt with the data exchange xml standard called BMEcat? I've got to hack a parser together quickly and I was hoping to nick somebody else's code. CPAN has a XML::BMEcat module, but it's aimed more at creating BMEcat files rather than reading them. The spec is incredibly icky (www.bmecat.org if you read german), and I really really really don't want to have to do this. All I need to do is shove a BMEcat feed in a db somewhere and I'm happy.

RE: Much Coolness XML Wise.
How does the output compare to XML::Simple::XMLout() ? I found XML::Simple::XMLout() to be deeply yucky, as it kind of randomly chooses to go for sub elements or attributes based on phases of the moon*. Also, it will happily output invalid XML if you have invalid data in your datastructure. Also it dies if given recursive structures. And it doesn't do binary data. I've found XML::Writer to be OK, although it doesn't do an 'export this data structure as XML' thing. You could use it write your own though. Or use XML::Dumper, I guess. *Something like all single nested items are made into attributes, or, if you prefer, nothing is made into attributes. Ick.
