Anyone know of anyone who's done any work with XML and Jade together? Specifically, has anyone written a XML parser for any purpose, however basic?
..... or integrated with an external one?

Stuart,

The Healthcare group have a product called the Jade Message Gateway. This application deals with the parsing of EDI messages such as HL7, EDIFACT and X12. With some work it could be extend to handle XML. An XML parser would be in fact 2 parsers as you need to read in the DTD and the XML message. The Banking Technology group is working with OFX the Financial worlds version of XML. They use a Microsoft product to do their parsing for them, but the Message Gateway is written 100% in Jade.

If you need to know more about it, please give me a call.

Regards,

Kevin

At Wang I wrote a limited (no attributes) XML parser / generator in Jade. It works quite well and it could quite easily be extended, but its very slow, mainly due to the speed of the Jade string routines. I wouldnt recommend it for large XML messages. If anyone wants the code, email me.

If you need a good XML parser I would recommend interfacing to the MS one, though its tricky without COM support in Jade.
