Come on: The only "syntactic" part of "ZConfig" is: there are keys with values and sections (which may contain subsections and keys with values). This is almost identical to the "syntactic" part of XML: the keys correspond to attributes and the sections to elements. In both cases, the difficult parts do *NOT* lie in *SYNTAX* (which is trivial in both cases). The difficult parts lie in the available sections/elements with their keys/attributes and subsections/subelements and what this all means (i.e. their semantics)... What I like with "ZConfig" is its schemas and especially the ability to define datatypes. I hope that similar things can be achieved with ZCML. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list [email protected] Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
