This is to announce the completion of a REBOL implementation of the DOM
Level 3 interfaces defined by the World Wide Web consortium (W3C, see
http://www.w3.org/DOM/), notably the Core, XML, Load and Save, and
validation modules, with certain restrictions and deviations, related mostly
to the capabilities of the programming language and operating system used
(REBOL 2 under Windows XP and later).
REBOL (www.rebol.com) is a high-level, interpreted, multi-platform,
multi-paradigm, dynamically reflective, symbolic programming language. It
supports structured, functional, and prototype-based programming. REBOL is
dynamic, and dynamically typed (values are strongly typed, variables are
not). It uses garbage collection for memory management, and supports
exception handling and dynamic name resolution.
The present DOM implementation is a specific language binding of the
abstract API, or Application Programming Interface, specified by the W3C.
Subject to the restrictions and deviations detailed in the User Manual,both
XML versions 1.0 and 1.1 are supported, with Namespaces. The implementation
omits a number of data types, interfaces, attributes and methods which are
either considered to be of little value for the general user, or not
applicable because of other implementation choices.
I am interested in having the parsing and validation facilities evaluated on
large XML documents. I can make available a package containing a Graphical
User Interface (GUI) for loading, parsing, serializing and validating XML
texts. The package will also allow processing of the parsed/validated
document tree through user scripts (written in REBOL 2) that can exploit all
objects, attributes and methods of the implementation. Good knowledge of
REBOL is required to produce these scripts.
Both the implementation and the GUI are extensively documented. The GUI uses
RebGUI from Dobeash Software (www.dobeash.com/rebgui).
The package comes as a ZIP file with the following contents:
DOMLevel3.exe (combined GUI + interfaces)
DOM-Impl-manual.doc (Word file containing the interface documentation
and example applications)
DOM-GUI-manual.doc (Word file containing the GUI documentation
and an example user script)
readme.txt
The executable file does not need any installation or other files to run. As
it is an evaluation copy, it will stop running after a fixed period of time
(3 months)
Reactions to me please:
