XMLSAX (was [RPG XML] misuse of DOMXPath_getElemCount() ?)

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

Could you give a brief explanation of the XMLSAX parser?  Your web site
offers the download (which I am retrieving -- 22MB???) but little else that
I could see of that describes what it does.  I am also downloading the
rpg-xml-parser from your Code page; is this something different from XMLSAX?

We are looking at a project in which we will need to "deal" with
XML-formatted data, both in receiving it on the AS/400 from a PC server and
sending it the other way as well.

When your XML parsing is working in an RPG program, where is the XML data?
A stream file in the IFS?  A native AS/400 flat file?

FYI, we are not using Java for our project.

tia,
