[Gambas-devel] XML Component

[Scott D. Harrison]

Daniel,

I would keep the XML component separate from the networking component.  Users
can then combine the two components at a higher level (BASIC) to build
XML+Networking applications.

Also, since the libxml2 library is rather large, I would implement just the
dozen or so most frequently used functions to start with.  I think most
developers only use a small percentage of the libxml2 functions in their
projects.  You can then add more functions over time as needed.  This will
give Gambas users the ability to use a fairly robust XML component sooner
rather than later.  I suggest starting with the functions used in the libxml
tutorial by John Fleck:

Let me know how I can help.
