| <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210">XML 1.0</A> |
| parser written in C. It aims to be fully conforming. It is currently |
| not a validating XML processor. Expat can be downloaded from <A href |
| = "ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip" |
| >ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip</A>. This is a production |
| version.</P> |
| |
| <P>The directory <SAMP>xmltok</SAMP> contains a low-level library for |
| tokenizing XML. The interface is documented in |
| <SAMP>xmltok/xmltok.h</SAMP>.</P> |
| |
| <P>The directory <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> contains an XML parser library |
| which is built on top of the <SAMP>xmltok</SAMP> library. The |
| interface is documented in <SAMP>xmlparse/xmlparse.h</SAMP>. The |
| directory <SAMP>sample</SAMP> contains a simple example program using |
| this interface; <SAMP>sample/build.bat</SAMP> is a batch file to build |
| the example using Visual C++.</P> |
| |
| <P>The directory <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> contains the <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> |
| application, which uses the <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> library. The |
| arguments to <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> are one or more files which are each |
| to be checked for well-formedness. An option <SAMP>-d |
| <VAR>dir</VAR></SAMP> can be specified; for each well-formed input |
| file the corresponding <A |
| href="http://www.jclark.com/xml/canonxml.html">canonical XML</A> will |
| be written to <SAMP>dir/<VAR>f</VAR></SAMP>, where |
| <SAMP><VAR>f</VAR></SAMP> is the filename (without any path) of the |
| input file. A <CODE>-x</CODE> option will cause references to |
| external general entities to be processed.</P> |
| |
| <P>The <SAMP>bin</SAMP> directory contains Win32 executables. The |
| <SAMP>lib</SAMP> directory contains Win32 import libraries.</P> |
