Re: XML* vs. eXpat

Hi Rory -

As a matter of fact, I'm a happy RPG-XML user right now. I'm using it
for web services stuff - I hadn't thought about it for just straight
RPG-XML stuff...though that's the name...duh! :) I don't think I'm
licensed for that partition with them - I'll have to talk to them
about that.

So you find the XML* stuff to be a pain?

Michael,

Have you also looked at RPG-XML (from Aaron Bartell/KrengelTech). It's not
free, unlike the built-in XML* BIF's or Scott's eXpat port, but it's a
better, more flexible, solution, I think (certainly better than XML-INTO
etc., which are horrible and very limited). You can probably download a demo
version from their website.

Looking for some opinions here...I have a complex (to me) XML document
that I'll need to parse and extract the data. I've used Scott's port
of eXpat before, and that's worked well for me. Finally on V5R4, so I
thought about using the XML* opcodes. Any opinions on using one over
the other? Are there cases where one approach works better?
