Title: Do I need XML parser ?
The
answer to the first question is "no". You can use the DOM interfaces in an
XML parser to create XML, but ultimately it is just a text file, so you can
create it as text.

Hello, As I am new to this XML business so I
got a basic and simple question. Here it goes... I have one cobol data file (in ASCII format) and one cobol
record description file to describe the position/length of each field of data
file.
I want to generate one XML file
out of that cobol data file. My question is 1) Do I need any XML parser to just generate one XML file
from a data file ? Or a simple programming
logic can create the XML file ?
2) While environment/programming
language would be best in this scenario ? a) program written in cobol on Mainframe ? b) to transfer the datafile to a Unix m/c and the generate the XML file
in C language ? c) to transfer the datafile to a Unix m/c and the generate the XML file
using shell script ?
Any quick help would be highly
appreciated !
Thanks in advance,
