  1. Re:It's about tools, libraries on XML Co-Creator says XML Is Too Hard For Programmers · · Score: 1

    You bind to records one at a time as they arrive. Processing starts right away and finishes when your stream ends. If the stream doesn't end, so what you just keep parsing on the fly.

    None of the tools I mentioned do that. An extension of one will. Soon.

    They're still DOM underneath, with all the disadvantages.

    No they're not. These tools compile a schema to generate classes and then build instances of those classes (the objects) using the XML values to initialise them. JAXB, castor and SNAQue have nothing to do with DOM.

    Binding tools let you, as a programmer, write code over the XML using the same semantic model that the data represents. You never see nodes, children, attributes. You see the real world view. If it's XML about books, ISBN and prices your code works with books ISBN and prices with associated types string, int, float etc.

    Yep, I've been using that technology for the last few weeks and it's pretty cool. Takes a while to get used to their mapping from Java classes to XML but when you do the rest is simple.

    And when the XML changes, the system rebinds just to the data you want! Adding new tags doesn't break your old code. Sweet!

    There's more than SAX and DOM out there. What about data binding tools? Generate some classes from your DTD/schema, call bind(xmlFile) and you've got objects to work with.

    There are even partial matching binding architectures. The best one I've seen is SNAQue.

    I met Don Syme in MSR Cambridge last September. He showed a game of life simulator written in ML with a graphical front end in C#. They are working on Haskell with SPJ for .NET but Don's been busy working on generics (C++ style templates) with Andy Gordon and others. They wanted to get generics into the CLR before the specification was sealed.

    1) XML gives you more than just label-value pairs. XML documents have an implicit heirarchical structure (e.g. parent-child and ancestor). You can use this to group and nest related data.

    2) With the inclusion of DTD's, to enforce a common layout, you can check to see if an XML document will fit your data model and work with your exisitng applications.

    3) Off the shelf parsers (e.g. SAX and DOM) will save you time generating and reading your data sets.
