Using the services of Ada Core Technologies' XML implementation, XIA allows XML-enabled applications to selectively access the contents of XML documents that have been loaded by the XML/Ada DOM parser. This current version of XIA is a limited-capability beta release. It implements the axes and the node tests, but does not yet implement any predicate filtering. So an XPath query returns all the nodes meeting the node test along the given axes. Compared to 0.10, it's the same, only better. While it still does not include predicate processing, it does now check the predicate(s) for correct syntax. Previously pretty much any gibberish between the predicate brackets would have been accepted and ignored. Not any more. The remaining changes are internal, including a wholesale replacement of the parsing implementation done with the aid of AdaGOOP (http://unicoi.kennesaw.edu/ase/ase02_02/tools/usafa/adagoop/) and various bug fixes. Comments, bug reports, and questions are welcome. Marc A. Criley www.mckae.com
