Re: [Tclxml-users] working dom example for tclxml3.1 anywhere?

[Steve B. <Ste...@ex...>]

Ben,

I did some work on the domtree example last year to make it work with  
tktreectrl, see examples/domtree-treectrl.tcl (display of the  
document tree works, but I haven't hooked up the DOM events yet).   
Although I use the binary installation of TclXML (ie. w/- libxml2), I  
don't recall there being anything in there that wouldn't work with  
the Tcl implementation.

With some limitations, the tkxmllint application should work with  
TclDOM/tcl.  It won't be able to perform DTD/XSD/RNG validation, but  
the basic read-file/parse/serialise operation should work.

Also, there's always the test suite.  Tests are marked as whether  
they are specific to a particular parser, but most of them apply to  
all implementations.

Now, both TclXML/TclDOM packages are meant to be API compatible so  
this shouldn't be an issue (modulo unsupported features, like  
validation, XPath, etc).  If there are examples in the distribution  
that don't work with v3.1 then please report that as a bug on SF.

Finally, if you need help with TclXML and/or TclDOM then please  
either write to the list or to me directly and let us know what you  
are trying to do.  Anyone on the list, or myself in particular, can  
then respond.  Anyone should feel free to add the responses to a Wiki  
page.

HTHs,
Steve Ball
