let us suppose that the parser is built on a substrate which permits it and
the application to operate on both namespaces and names as first class objects:
(in-package :xmlp)
(import '(||::|item| ||::|title| ||::|words|) :xmlp)
(defun rewrite-with-title-word-count (model &optional (stream *standard-output*))
(let ((items (.//* model '|item|)))
(dolist (item items)
(let* ((title (./ item '|title|))
(words (length (split-string (first (children title)) " "))))
(setf (children item)
(nconc (children item)
(list (make-elem-node :name '|words|
:children (list (write-to-string words)))))))))
(write-node model stream))
? (rewrite-with-title-word-count
(document-parser
"<document>
<item><title>title one</title></item>
<item><title>a longer title two</title></item>
</document>"))
==>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<document>
<item><title>title one</title><words>2</words></item>
<item><title>a longer title two</title><words>4</words></item>
</document>
#<DOC-NODE <no uri> #x207B4E6>
? (let ((*namespace-dictionary* `(("http://www/rss" . ,(find-package "")) ,*namespace-dictionary*)))
(rewrite-with-title-word-count
(document-parser
"<document>
<item xmlns='http://www/rss'><title>title one</title></item>
<item xmlns='http://www/rss'><title>a longer title two</title></item>
</document>")))
==>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<document>
<item xmlns='http://www/rss'><title>title one</title><words>2</words></item>
<item xmlns='http://www/rss'><title>a longer title two</title><words>4</words></item>
</document>
#<DOC-NODE <no uri> #x207FFE6>
no encoding properties are imposed on the application code.
simple forms of relabeling can be accomplished independant of both the
application code and the document parsing by operations on namespaces. in this
instance by
- asserting the identity of names in two namespaces
- providing an alias for the namespace which the application knew.
