In addition to the other responses, a "from RPG" solution is
Scott Klement's web page has info on running Expat on i - and I used that
back in V5R4
https://www.scottklement.com/expat/
The articles he wrote , listed on the web page - 1,2,3 appear to be bad
links, but article 4 has new links to 1,2,3.
I didn't use Expat for validation - used a XML Spy tool because the XML was
gigabytes long (there are posts about this several years ago in midrange-l
or rpg400-l) and XML Spy and a very powerful workstation, was only tool I
could find that could handle the editing, but then Expat was fine processing
it.
As an alternative, and not knowing what is in the Python port that others
had done in v5r4, this may be a possible answer -
Python contains a simple parser called minidom - and this (from stack
exchange) will edit the xml
import xml.dom.minidom
xml.dom.minidom.parseString('<My><XML><String/><XML/><My/>')
You will get a xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError if the XML is invalid.
