Re: XML for GJS

[Richard Schwarting <aquarichy gmail com>]

Hi Nikita.

I'm the primary contributor to GXml, but am unfortunately consumed by finishing my Masters this semester.  However, I am currently at the Desktop Summit and will be working on GXml for the next 3 days straight!

What's the problem between your version of vala and GXml?  I had one report about the fact that it used to target gee-1.0 (libgee 0.6) and now targets gee-0.8 (libgee 0.8) which had an API break, and Ubuntu and Fedora don't ship the same version of the API.

Cheerio, 
 Richard Schwarting

Without proper XML support, a programming platform becomes outright
useless for PEOPLE, since XML is now the integral part of Web 3.0 and
everything else. It's a grave problem for GJS, since now it has no XML
support whatsoever. I want to try to do something about this.

* Make a manual binding, like we do for cairo.
* Make a GObject wrapper over libxml2 (there's already GXml, but it
requires outdated Vala version, maybe port to C not to chase Vala?).
* Make a new XML parser that is based entirely on GLib and GObject.

The latter two have a bonus that if new features are added, they'll
become immediately available for all languages that GNOME supports. What
is the best option?
