xalan v. xerces

[Siegfried Heintze <si...@heintze.com>]

Hmmm. I would imagine that this would be answered in the faq but apparently
there is no faq. Here is the message I received:

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the xalan-c-users@xml.apache.org
mailing list.

None available yet.

 

I want to de/serialize and manipulate DOMs with CreateElement, appendChild
and setAttribute  and query with xpaths. Which API should I be using:
xerces-c or xalan-c? Is there a sample program?  I looked at
c:/dev/xalan/Xalan-C_1_10_0-win32-msvc_60/samples/TransformToXercesDOM/Trans
formToXercesDOM.cpp but could not figure out how to serialize the Xalan DOM
using the serialize function.

 

Is there an example of

(1)     loading a DOMDocument from a file and then using it with xpath and
xslt functions? In other words is there a way get a XalanParsedSource from
DOMDocument?

(2)     Converting XalanParserSource back to a xerces DOMDocument?

 

Thanks,

Siegfried
