Re: current state of xml-into v6r1

Scott,

Expat (from your site) working fine. The actual xml was far more complicated
than my example (and office has rules about describing anything identifiable),
but Expat giving me control where i need it in the parsing process.

Hi Jim,

LOL! Define "normal". XML documents are all over the place... some
fit into a nice neat little structure, similar to database records...
but some are radically different.

I would suggest either using XML-SAX (built-in to RPG as of V5R4) or
Expat. Expat works better with namespaces, and is somewhat more
versatile. But XML-SAX doesn't require any extra software, and in some
circumstances is easier to code (especially with regard to attributes.)

Good luck
