Nothing glamorous about 'em -Tim FYI, XOM handles all of this. Anything that needs to be escaped is escaped automatically when the document is serialized. (There were some bugs in the first implementation, but they are now fixed.) Anything that cannot be serialized even with escaping, e.g. a null, throws an exception as soon as you try to sneak it into the document. How much does this help your use-cases? The one thing XOM is not doing is any sort of auto-cleanup of completely unserializable data. I don't think that belongs in core--for one thing there are too many different ways to do it to pick a single right solution--but it could be implemented through custom subclasses of Text and Attribute. Would that be useful? -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@m... | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian2/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0596002920/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
