Re: [Gumstix-users] SOAP based applications

[Craig H. <cr...@hu...>]

I'd actually venture to guess that for any application you're going  
to be running on a gumstix, you don't actually need or want a full- 
blown XML parser, but rather that it'd be easier to just parse using  
regexes or even just straight string matches.  Composing results for  
SOAP queries as Chris says is probably just basically a printf() with  
your results inside some static XML structure.
