[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] XML For The Average Monkey
The years and archives are littered with the theory of parsing, direct and indirect addressing and the scree of what and how are semantic and identity best related. The Average Code Monkey sees stringbuilder, textwriter, textreader, doc.load XPath find, and the validator callback among others. We speculate the deep mysteries but day to day work is learning and scripting in a framework. MS blows it in XML by not understanding it as a composable format so relegates it to the limits of the code editor. Pobrecito. The utility of XML is standing up project publishing systems that deliver complex data in final fixed formats. From XML to PDF, it's a smooth breeze. I don't mean to belittle the joys of character catching, but the beauty of XML is just how easy it is to build complex linked documents. Work out a namespace that you data editors either create correct by construction or validate and both, get your gridviews and treeviews chatting and leaving stuff on your editors, lay in some scripts for common tasks like batch file validation and hand it off to the renderer and it just works. Complexity of speculation exceeds necessary complexity of implementation for what is basic data plumbing. len
