XML::Xerces - Perl Interface to the Apache Xerces XML Parser
DESCRIPTION
- Because it is based on the Xerces-C parser, XML::Xerces provides a
- validating XML parser written in a portable subset of C++. XML::Xerces
- makes it easy to give your application the ability to read and
- write XML data. Methods are provided for parsing, generating,
- manipulating, and validating XML documents. XML::Xerces is
- faithful to the XML 1.0 recommendation and associated standards (
- DOM 1.0, DOM 2.0. SAX 1.0, SAX 2.0, Namespaces, and support
- for W3C XML Schema). The parser provides high performance,
- modularity, and scalability. It also provides full support for
- Unicode.
- Its fast, its mean, and its got all the buzzwords - what more could
- you want in an XML parser?
+ XML::Xerces is the Perl API to the Apache project's Xerces XML
+ parser. It is implemented using the Xerces C++ API, and it provides
+ access to *most* of the C++ API from Perl.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.7.0-1
- - Second release to mirror Xerces-C-1.7.0 release
- - Added support for DOM_NodeIterator and DOM_TreeWalker
- - Added basic support for XMLScanner
- - DOM_Document's will now stay alive even if the DOMParser
- that created them goes out of scope. This means it is
- possible to have a subroutine that parses a file and returns
- the resulting DOM_Document. This used to cause a segfault.
- - Fixed overloaded InputSource constructors that were using
- char* versions instead of Unicode versions
- - Many internal changes that improve code generation and
- maintenance, thanks to the ever-improving SWIG.
- - The DOM API is now implemented by the Xerces-C IDOM
- implementation (see README for issues)
- - All dynamic casting of DOM_Node*'s is now done internally by
- the C++ code. This means that calls to DOM_Node::actual_cast
- are now unnecessary.
- - ensured that methods which return DOM_NodeList's and
- DOM_NamedNodeMap's will never return undef in an array
- context (instead they return the empty list).
+ - first public 2.6 release
+ - all known memory leaks fixed
+ - all known segfaults fixed (especially with regards to
+ exception handling) - perhaps this will fix AIX?
