[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Announcement: XMLWriter and XMLNorm
Since I need them for several projects, I've created a couple of smallish Java classes. One is a DocumentHandler and DTDHandler that writes an XML document back out to a Java Writer (like James Clark's XMLTest, only much more configurable), and one is an application for normalizing XML documents. The classes are com.megginson.sax.XMLWriter com.megginson.sax.XMLNorm Since it's short, here's the README itself: ************************************************************************ com.megginson.sax.XMLWriter - a class for writing XML documents ************************************************************************ This distribution contains a simple class, com.megginson.sax.XMLWriter, which writes an XML document based (mostly) on SAX events. The writer implements the SAX 1.0 DocumentHandler and DTDHandler interfaces, and is highly configurable; using flags, the application can specify any of the following actions: - escape non-ASCII characters as character references - add newlines in tags to improve readability - include a simple DOCTYPE declaration, with any notation and unparsed entity declarations - omit the XML declaration - display attributes in random, unsorted order (for efficiency) - attempt level-3 HTML browser compatibility, by killing the XML declaration, DOCTYPE declaration, and processing instructions, and adding a space before the closing delimiter of empty element tags The output goes to a Writer provided by the application, and can use any character encoding supported by the Java installation. ************************************************************************ com.megginson.sax.XMLNorm - an application for normalizing XML documents. ************************************************************************ This distribution also contains an application, com.megginson.sax.XMLNorm, that produces a normalized version of an XML document, like James Clark's XMLTest class. The usage is java com.megginson.sax.XMLNorm [opts] <file-or-uri> The following options are available: -a: escape non-ASCII characters -d: include DOCTYPE declaration -h: display this help -n: add newlines in tags for readability -x: don't include the XML declaration -u: unsorted attributes (random order) -3: level-3 HTML browser compatibility kludges -o <file>: print output to the specified file -e <encoding>: use the specified output encoding If you have a network connection, you can try the following: java com.megginson.sax.XMLNorm http://home.sprynet.com/~dmeggins/texts/darkness/darkness.xml (You can also try for other, shorter XML documents.) By default, this application attempts to use Microstar's free AElfred parser (http://www.microstar.com/), but you can use the org.xml.sax.parser to point it to any other SAX-conformant parser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Megginson, david@m... 21 July 1999 All the best, David -- David Megginson david@m... http://www.megginson.com/ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
