libxml2

For another question I have created some XML related code that works on my development machine but not on viper codepad where I tested it before adding it to my answer. I could reduce my problem to the point that the order of nodes returned by DOMXPath::query() differs between my system and the codepad. XML: <test>This is some <span>text</span>, fine.</test> When I query all textnodes //child::text() the result differs: Viper Codepad: #0: This is some #1: , fine. #2: text My Machine: #0: This is some #1: text #2: , fine. I'm not that experienced with xpath that I do understand why this happens

Please can somebody show me a simple example of parsing some HTML using libxml. #import <libxml2/libxml/HTMLparser.h> NSString *html = @"<ul>" "<li><input type=\"image\" name=\"input1\" value=\"string1value\" /></li>" "<li><input type=\"image\" name=\"input2\" value=\"string2value\" /></li>" "</ul>" "<span class=\"spantext\"><b>Hello World 1</b></span>" "<span class=\"spantext\"><b>Hello World 2</b></span>"; 1) Say I want to parse the value of the input whose name = input2. Should output "string2value". 2) Say I want to parse the inner contents of each span tag whose class = spantext. Should

I have tried many of the Perl XML Parsers. I was quite interested in the Sablotron Parser, but it is such a pain to install on a Windows box. Currently I have started using XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT both of which seem to do everything I need. They seem to be quite standard as well. Are there any better XML Parsers to use than this? I think you are using a pretty good one. XML::LibXML , Matt Sergeant and Christian Glahn's Perl interface to Daniel Velliard's libxml2 is one of the faster XML Parsers that I know of. Dotan Dimet It really depends on your needs, as people have said. To parse XML

I am attempting to install libxml2 so that I can setup the python bindings and eventually use lxml. However I am unable to work out here on earth I am supposed to be unzipping the files. I haven't been able to google successfully. Do I need Cygwin/MinGW for the installation to be successful? At the moment I have the files from the libxml2.tar.gz and libxslt.tar.gz in their respective directories within my Python folder. So files that were in the tars under include are in Python26\include\libxml2\libxml... and so on. however when i run a easy_install lxml i receive the following output:

I cannot find comparison of these parsing technique. Which one is most commonly used? Regards. Mustafa NSXMLParser is a SAX parser, meaning it steps through the XML document, and informs you (via delegate methods) of various events (such as starting an xml node, finding attributes, etc). This type of XML processing is best for parsing huge documents, and when you only need to retrieve a tiny amount of data from a big file. In contrast to SAX is the DOM model, where the entire XML tree is parsed into memory (usually with a single call), and then you can freely explore the XML document from the
