I don't know what's "onyx-style" xml, but if it's xml, any xml parser
will parse it, and any validating parser should be able to validate it
given the correct DTD.

I don't know what's "onyx-style" xml,

i'm not used to xml, so for me onyx is just a mess...
http://www.onyx.com/Products/xml.asp

but if it's xml, any xml parser
will parse it, and any validating parser should be able to validate it
given the correct DTD.

For example?where do I find a good validating parser?


thanx again

First question : do you *really* need a validating parser ?

Second question : did you try to google for
"+Python +validating +XML +parser"

lxml is a validating parser for python.

that's what they told me ("they" being "da boss")... I mean: i have to
validate and to parse... i guess you can't do it at the same time, can
you?

Second question : did you try to google for
"+Python +validating +XML +parser"

I've already googled it, and found pyRXP... but I was looking for
someone/something already experienced with onix...

Well, it's XML with a DTD. Not much to see there. Nobody is going to
help you generate and/or process it, as the application is _very_
domain-specific and unlikely to have some pre-built support libs.

However, using python you should be in an excellent position to create
one for yourself - and maybe share, if "da boss" allows it.
