- Free Pascal XML units
- ---------------------
- DOM:
- Implements most of the DOM level 1 specification and supports some of the
- DOM level 2 extensions.
- XMLRead:
- Provides a simple XML reader, which can read XML data from a file or stream.
- This simple parser will be replaced by a much improved one soon, which will be
- able to handle different character encodings, namespaces and entity references.
- (This parser reads the file directly, i.e. it doesn't support Unicode or
- different charsets yet.)
- Regarding entity references: The pre-defined entities "lt", "gt", "amp", "apos"
- and "quot" are replaced by their normal value during reading. Other entity
- references are stored as TDOMEntityReference nodes in the DOM tree.
- Regarding whitespace handling: Whitespace directly after the beginning of a
- tag is discarded, and sections of the XML file which contain only whitespace and
- no other text content are discarded as well.
- XMLWrite:
- Writes a DOM structure as XML data into a file or stream. It can deal both with
- XML files and XML fragments.
- At the moment it supports only the node types which can be read by XMLRead.
- Please note that the writer replaces some characters by entity references
- automatically:
- For attribute values, '"' gets replaced by '"', and '&' gets replaced by
- '&'. For normal text nodes, the following replacements will be done:
- '<' => '<'
- '>' => '>'
- '&' => '&'
- The XML reader (in xmlread.pp) will convert these entity references back to
- their original characters.
