XML parser - .NET Framework

Alex

Hello all,

As I don't have any experience with XML parsers, I'm looking for your
advice in this group.
In the project I'm involved with, we are dealing with parsing of XML
messages that are coming from server. The parser that we are currently
using is not able to:
- parse non-ASCII Unicode text
- parse unary XML elements
- parse the text block between XML elemnts
- handle specific characters, like '

I need to find a good XML parser that will be integrated in the plug
for server, so could you make me some suggestion?

Thank you a lot,
Aleksandra

This sounds like a prototype parser that simply
parses some ASCII-tags and not more.

This question has been answere here many times.
Use Google to search for answers in the Google
archive of this newsgroup. The answer depends
on the Operating System you are using, the programming
language you are using and the parsing concept (DOM or SAX).

Then it isn't an XML parser. (I'm willing to let folks cheat on the
"only ASCII" issue, though that's a Bad Idea, but an XML parser has to
support XML syntax.)

Good parsers certainly exist. I'm biased since I've contributed to it,
but my first suggestion for a general-purpose parser in either Java or
C++ would be Xerces, available from Apache; IBM's main current product
parser is a somewhat enhanced version of the Xerces code.

But there are certainly lots of other parser packages. Even the W3C has
given up trying to track them all, and just suggests you do a websearch
for "XML parser" combined with the language(s) you're interested in.

Choosing the right parser for parsing C headers

Where to look for source of HTML::Parser

by: Himanshu Garg | last post by:

Hello, I am trying to pinpoint an apparent bug in HTML::Parser. The encoding of the text seems to change incorrectly if the locale isn't set properly. However Parser.pm in the directory (/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/HTML/) doesn't seem to contain the "real" parsing statements.

Linq; expression parser?

by: Marc Gravell | last post by:

In Linq, you can apparently get a meaningful body from and expression's .ToString(); random question - does anybody know if linq also includes a parser? It just seemed it might be a handy way to write a safe but easy implementation (i.e. no codedom) for an IBindingListView.Filter (by compiling to a Predicate<T>). Anybody know if this is possible at all? Marc
