[Tclxml-users] Is anyone aware of a location to obtain a tar of the tcldom package?

[Larry W. V. <lv...@ca...>]

I am investigating tclxml, tcldom, and tclsoap and have gotten the first
and last of these packages - but I can't seem to locate a place to download
a tar file of tcldom.  Anyone know where I can turn?  Thanks!

TclDOM v2.0 has not yet been officially released, so there's no
tarball.  While I'd like to do more work on the package (more Level 2/3
support, XPath support, etc), perhaps there's no point in delaying
release.  At this stage there's some significant release engineering
to be done.

Do folks want an official v2.0 release sooner, rather than later?

Cheers,
Steve Ball

Well, I can say that the current version is very useful, I've just started 
working with it to translate some legacy data into xml and it's proved it's 
worth already.  I'm not pushing it by any means and I'm only using it to 
generate xml, not parse.  

I'm using the tcl only version, I notice that there's c code in the CVS 
package which doesn't get built when I say 'make'. Does this provide an 
alternate version?

Cool!

Scriptics/Ajuba contributed their 'TclDOMPro' package, which was a
C implementation of the TclDOM API.  Joe English has been working
on it.  The aim is to have a version of TclDOM implemented in C
which is 'plug-n-play' compatible with the Tcl version.

However, I've started work on a wrapper for libxml, which includes a
DOM implementation.  The aim of this subproject is to have a TclDOM
package which integrates with the TclXSLT package (announced recently).

Alternatively, there's tDOM.

At this stage we may end up with four DOM packages; 3 C and 1 Tcl,
3 API-compatible and 1 incompatible.  This situation may need to be
rationalised, time will tell.
