The key for good performances is keeping - the data set small, so will I. - => the new progressive reading routines call the detection code - is enabled, tested the ISO->UTF-8 stuff -- External entities loading: - - allow override by client code - - make sure it is alled for all external entities referenced - Done, client code should use xmlSetExternalEntityLoader() to set - the default loading routine. It will be called each time an external - entity entity resolution is triggered. -- maintain ID coherency when removing/changing attributes - The function used to deallocate attributes now check for it being an - ID and removes it from the table. -- push mode parsing i.e. non-blocking state based parser - done, both for XML and HTML parsers. Use xmlCreatePushParserCtxt() - and xmlParseChunk() and html counterparts. - The tester program now has a --push option to select that parser - front-end. Douplicated tests to use both and check results are similar. - -- Most of XPath, still see some troubles and occasionnal memleaks. -- an XML shell, allowing to traverse/manipulate an XML document with - a shell like interface, and using XPath for the anming syntax - - use of readline and history added when available - - the shell interface has been cleanly separated and moved to debugXML.c -- HTML parser, should be fairly stable now -- API to search the lang of an attribute -- Collect IDs at parsing and maintain a table. - PBM: maintain the table coherency - PBM: how to detect ID types in absence of DtD ! -- Use it for XPath ID support -- Add validity checking - Should be finished now ! -- Add regression tests with entity substitutions - -- External Parsed entities, either XML or external Subset [78] and [79] - parsing the xmllang DtD now works, so it should be sufficient for - most cases ! - -- progressive reading. The entity support is a first step toward - asbtraction of an input stream. A large part of the context is still - located on the stack, moving to a state machine and putting everyting - in the parsing context should provide an adequate solution. - => Rather than progressive parsing, give more power to the SAX-like - interface. Currently the DOM-like representation is built but - => it should be possible to define that only as a set of SAX callbacks - and remove the tree creation from the parser code. - DONE - -- DOM support, instead of using a proprietary in memory - format for the document representation, the parser should - call a DOM API to actually build the resulting document. - Then the parser becomes independent of the in-memory - representation of the document. Even better using RPC's - the parser can actually build the document in another - program. - => Work started, now the internal representation is by default - very near a direct DOM implementation. The DOM glue is implemented - as a separate module. See the GNOME gdome module. - -- C++ support : John Ehresman <jehresma@dsg.harvard.edu> -- Updated code to follow more recent specs, added compatibility flag -- Better error handling, use a dedicated, overridable error - handling function. -- Support for CDATA. -- Keep track of line numbers for better error reporting. -- Support for PI (SAX one). -- Support for Comments (bad, should be in ASAP, they are parsed - but not stored), should be configurable. -- Improve the support of entities on save (+SAX). - |
