Re: [Vala] Announce: Acme.Xml 0.1.0, wrapper for libxml2's xmlTextReader/xmlTextWriter API

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

I think this is a great opportunity to work together, I mean GXml and Acme.

First all I think this work should use same namespace than GXml.

Second I would like to use your work on Serialization, my actual work on
that is located in serialization branch at GXml repository, but use DOM and
I started to think that is better to use xmlTextReader and Writer for
better performane on large documents.

I need to know if I can share my work to you to test the concept.
Hello,

I started working on a wrapper for libxml's xmlTextReader and
xmlTextWriter API:s for simple "pull"-style reading and writing of
XML. Benifits against using libxml directly include, if/when things
are working correctly:

 - Memory-managed GObject based classes
 - Reading and writing with GIO streams
 - Error reporting through GError
 - Slightly more similar to the ECMA .NET API;s on which this is based
 - Readable documentation

Regarding the last point - I've copied some documentation from the
DotGNU project, which I think comes directly from the ECMA spec. As
far as I can understand it is freely usable. A big TODO point remains
in checking that the behavior and the doc actually correspond...

Anyway, I just wanted to get this out since I would love to hear some
thoughts on the API and also the implementation, if anyone is
interested. I'm aware there is another project that wraps libxml in
Vala/GObject, GXml - that works at the DOM level so they are really
differrent things for different use cases, I think (although it would
be great if they worked well together).
