XML and Parsers???

[Leonard J. Reder]

Hello,

I am totally new to the idea of XML but have been reading about it and it seems to apply for my application. I have some files with detection results and graphical shape properties that I wish to generallize and standardize with a specific ML sort of notation since it seems this is easy to verify and parse. Is there a standard parser with schema varification for C++ (and Python). I also need to generate from C++ as well. All code runs on Linux.

Also is there a recommended textbook on XML?

Thanks for any replies,

Len

For Python, there is XML package coming with the system. However, you might like to check PyXML, since it more generic. I don't know about XML and C++, but I'd check Xerces-C++ from http://xml.apache.org.

I just wrote some Python stuff, and used SAX for parsing and DOM for generating XML. They are common techniques, you could check from http://w3.org.
