New page:
=== Week ending 21st of August 2005 ===

=== Current Status ===
        Finished work on first proto type. 

----------------------

    Finished worked on first proto type, which can parse xml document. It could process attributes and names well. For the time being 
Guththila C parser has following API

             XML_PullParser_createPullParser ()

             XML_PullParser_freePullParser ()
   
             XML_PullParser_next ()

             XML_PullParser_getAttribute ()

             XML_PullParser_getAttributeName ()

             XML_PullParser_getAttributePrefix ()

             XML_PullParser_getAttributeValue ()

             XML_PullParser_getAttributeCount ()
 
             XML_PullParser_getName ()

             XML_PullParser_getPrefix ()

The use who createPullParser is responsible for calling freePullParser method after using all the stuff. 

Internally it uses a stack which implemented in using single link list. Basically stack is used for store tokens and attributes. Stack could store Elements , element is a stucture 

           typedef struct element ELEMENT;

           typedef struct element
             {
                TOKEN *token;

                ATTRIBUTE *attribute;

                ELEMENT *prev;
             };

Therefore I was able to use same stack for ( two instance of STACK) both tokens and attributes.

Hope to put current sources to the CVS , then devs could review the code. :)
    

=== Special Notes ===
  
 *  Need to work on Namespace support for Guththila C implementation.
 *  Need to finish encoding support (UTF-8 and UTF-16 ) after Namespace support.
