Re: Re[2]: [Xenocide-programming] xercesc

[<fl...@ma...>]

Hi Serge, we are going to use LUA in fact to simplify the Lua work take a
look at LuaBind www.sourceforge.net/projects/luabind. And for a live
example take a look at Oasis www.sourceforge.net/projects/oasis, if you
are using it, you should consider use it. It is heavily based on templates
but it looks like sort of new language inside C++, it is a very nice piece
of work.

About XML we are using it to store data entities (not executable code) so
in that case XML sounded the best approach, how had been your experience
with only data in LUA?

Greetings
