Release of MDSAX 1.0 Beta 1


Date:     Mon, 25 Jan 1999 17:10:05 -0500

MDSAX 1.0 Beta 1 was released today:

      http://www.jxml.com/download.html

There are now three packages:

  1. com.jxml.mdsax contains filters which can be used independently of anything else.

  2. com.jxml.mdsax.context contains the classes needed to define a parsing context, and filters which depend on that context.

  3. com.jxml.mdsax.framework contains various factories which make up the optional mdsax framework.

As before, all filters are derived from John Cowan's ParserFilter:

The full api for mdsax is available at:

      http://www.jxml.com/mdsax/api/overview-summary.html.

A suite of tests are available at:

      http://www.jxml.com/mdsax/src/com/jxml/mdsax/tests/.

These tests exercise the following:

  • test0: A trace of SAX document handler events before and after the element filter, displaying the XPointer for the element when present.

  • test1: A simple exercise of the document router, showing how PIs are queued until the document type is known.

  • test2: A minimalist exercise of the context filter.

  • test3: A simple exercise of the element router, showing which events are routed to specific element filters.

  • test4: Rather than simply filtering events, the ContextFilter is used to create an application-specific result, in this case a simple count of the number of elements found in the document.

This is Open Source Software:
