[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Announcement: SAX Java Implementation (pre-release)
[I'm limiting this announcement to XML-DEV right now.] I have put together a new, beta version of SAX with quite a few changes; here are some change highlights: - ability to parse from a byte stream or character stream - ability to locate (the end of) any document handler event in the source document - events for notation and unparsed entity declarations - _much_ simpler interface for attributes - extensible error-reporting mechanism, including the ability to provide localized error messages **Please** do not release new versions of your software based on this: while I don't expect major changes, I would like to take a one- or two-week bug-fixing period before we release this to the world at large. I have not yet updated the SAX web pages or written a specification or even a README for this (the only documentation is in the extensive JavaDoc comments), but while I'm working on documentation and packaging, I thought that it would be useful to release a snapshot of the Java-based SAX reference implementation so that parser and application developers could start porting, evaluating, and testing their code. You can download the snapshot from the the following URL: http://www.microstar.com/XML/SAX/New/saxjava-19980410.zip This includes source, class files, and a single (5K) Jar file with all of the SAX interfaces and helper classes. Of course, you'll want to be able to play with SAX. I have a 99%-complete driver for AElfred, but am not finished testing the AElfred changes that went with it, so I cannot release that quite yet. I have, however, put together modified versions of my Lark driver (which is pretty good) and my MSXML driver (which is more limited because of MSXML problems), and posted them to the following URL: http://www.microstar.com/XML/SAX/New/saxdrivers-19980410.zip When I get the new AElfred out (soon), you'll be able to experiment with entity resolution as well. Finally, I have a small demo which does a rather boring identity transform: http://www.microstar.com/XML/SAX/New/saxdemos-19980410.zip All the best, David -- David Megginson ak117@f...
