Re: [Xmlstar-devel] IBM developerworks article

[Mikhail S G. <mgr...@co...>]

Hmm,

This article is dated Nov 4th, 2005 but it is based on outdated version of 
xmlstarlet.
Better naming of root element and ISO 8601 date format have been in there 
for over 8 months.
It also proposes the following style for bit fields in XML (examples):

<bits>
  <bit1>true</bit1>
  <bit2>false</bit2>
  <bit3>true</bit3>
  <bit4>false</bit4>
</bits>

for 0101

and timestamps as:

<dateTime>
  <year>2005</year>
  <month>06</month>
  <day>10</day>
  <hour>13</hour>
  <minute>49</minute>
  <second>59</second>
</dateTime>

instead of 2005-06-10T13:49:59

I'm pretty sure that many people would disagree with the value of such 
approach.
Sorry, I didn't find any interesting points in the article.

PS: Thanks for your feedback on xmlstarlet.

Hello,
You may have read this. Xmlstar only serves as an example but
nevertheless the author IMHO has a point,
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipflaw.html

I really am quite fond of xmlstar, very helpful and nice tool. But the
suggested improvements for the directory listing XML format which
xmlstar produces would really be quite helpful. Might this be
considered in a future version?


Thanks
Christof
