XML and Ada

XML and Ada

[Gregor Schiele]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write an Ada program which reads in/ writes out XML.
For that I'm searching some XML-frontend or toolset for Ada which does
the parsing and validation for me, like the XML-tools for Java do. Does
anybody know of something like that or has anybody successfully done
such a combination?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Gregor

On Win32 use GNATCOM and MSXML.

GtkAda (http://gtkada.eu.org/) has some rudimentary XML tools built in.
Version 1.2.7 parsed but did not do much by way of validation.  However, I
understand that XML support has been upgraded somewhat for version 1.2.8.
If your needs are modest, perhaps GtkAda will suffice.

Do you know a XML parsing library in Ada?
Where could I find it?

Thanks for your answers

Ok I see, what you say is that XML is great (I agree), that it is very close
to Ada in syntax and part of the semantic (I agree)... but XML and Ada are
completly different beasts in usage and Java can benefit from XML as much as
Ada can in my point of view.

Concerning Java benefiting from anything, I hope not. Since Java is an
inferior technology, whose acceptance is based on marketing and consumer
gullibility, I do not believe that the Ada community has any
responsibility to perform actions that benefit Java's commercial
sponsors.
