From: Trevor Croll <litebook@p...> >There is no need for a C struct for an XML document, use a DOM tree >by walking this tree the field details can be pulled into your app as you >need them. Something that may be useful if you are going the C & DOM route is the dom_interface.h header file at http://www.sinica.edu.tw/~ricko/src/dom_interface.h or http://www.ascc.net/xml/en/utf-8/schemas.html This file gives a C version of the DOM level 1 API. It is basically just a big struct of pointers to individual DOM functions, which you have to provide. It gives the design of the interface, but not the implementation: you don't have to search through CORBA and W3C documentation as much to get to first base. If you use this, it should make porting your program (e.g. if other DOM implementations in C also use the API, to C++ DOMs, or even across to Java) easier. Even if you do make a DTD to C struct converter, you can still have a DOM interface to it, to allow very generic operations such as navigation. Also, increasingly more programmers will be familiar with the DOM interface and concepts. You can figure out the efficiency tradeoffs in your own context.
