[xsd-users] DOM parser for embedded environment

[Balasubramanyam, Shivakumar]

Boris,

In most cases, the documents are small even in embedded platform. It
will very useful for us to have a DOM like interface.

SAX makes sense only for large documents. But if XSD is used for
messaging, then it becomes very useful to use the DOM parser. 

Do you have any timeline for this feature?

Compared to C++/Tree, some features that need to be eliminated are boost
dependency, exceptions, optimal template usage.

I will be interested in understanding the features you are planning to
support. 

Thanks,
Shiva

We don't provide a DOM implementation with XSD/e (usually, for
embedded systems, a stream-oriented representation like SAX is
more suitable that an in-memory representation like DOM due to
memory constraints).

Perhaps what you are looking for in XSD/e is an in-memory mapping
like C++/Tree? If that's the case then there is no such mapping
currently but we are working on one. It, however, still won't use
DOM underneath and will be more lighter-weight compared to C++/Tree
but it will be quite similar.
