An XML package for the S language

Source: XML_0.97-0.tar.gz

Windows binary: XML_0.97-0.zip

Last Release: Thu Aug 12 07:56:21 PDT 2004

This package provides facilities for the S language to

• parse XML files, URLs and strings, using either the DOM (Document Object Model)/tree-based approach, or the event-driven SAX (Simple API for XML) mechanism;
• generate XML content to buffers, files, URLs, and internal XML trees;
• read DTDs as S objects.

NOTE

• uses libxml2, by default and only libxml(version 1) if libxml2 is not present
• uses a namespace for R.

Note that this latest version has not been tested with S-Plus Specifically, it should work as before, however the state mechanism for the SAX parser may not. This just requires testing.
