[Ted Onley] Xerces usage docs

["Jason E. Stewart" <ja...@openinformatics.com>]

Hello there!  Haven't had any communications recently. Anyhow, I 
installed Xerces several months ago at a client of mine for reading XML 
documents.  That installation is running great.

I now have a need to create XML documents for a different client (as 
well as read them), so I installed Xerces here and am now struggling 
with creating an XML document!!

I'm VERY green here.  Could you possibly point me in the direction of 
some good (or even remotely adequate) documentation for Xerces?  I'm 
actually using the Perl API to Xerces, which I understand doesn't really 
have any documentation.  If this is not a correct understanding, then 
please let me know!   I do remember reading that most of the C++ 
functions are implemented for Perl, so I'm assuming that if I can get 
that documentation, that should get me going.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Ted Onley

Great! It is always nice to hear.

Yes, the C++ documents can explain how to use the API, there are no
Perl specific docs except the README, the files in samples/ and the
tests in t/.

If you want to create a document you could use the DOM API, but I
prefer to simply use print statements - the XML files I create are
often very large, and DOM is slower and uses a lot more memory. If you
want to use the DOM API then check out t/DOMWriter.t and
samples/DOMPrint.pl.

Cheers,
jas.
