expat

A new version of expat, my XML parser in C, is now available. See:

     http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html

for more information.

This version adds support for parsing external general entities. There's a new -x option on xmlwf that enables this.

XP 0.3

XP 0.3 is now available. See:

      http://www.jclark.com/xml/xp/index.html

for more information.

Apart from bug fixes, the changes in this release are:

• Support for SAX 1.0.
• Efficient support for large CDATA sections (previously these were not handled very efficiently).
• New approach to exceptions in the interface. If you have code using XP 0.2, you can get it to work with XP 0.3 just by changing it to import Application, ApplicationImpl, Parser and ParserImpl from com.jclark.xml.parse.io instead of com.jclark.xml.parse.

XMLTest

I've updated my XMLTest program (http://www.jclark.com/xml/XMLTest.java) to support SAX 1.0.

XMLTest uses SAX to generate canonical XML, allowing any Java XML parser with a SAX driver to be tested with any XML test suite that includes canonical XML output for its test cases.
