XMLToolbox 0.4

[Thomas Geiger]

Hello everybody,


announcing the release of XMLToolbox 0.4 for GNU Octave.

The new and long awaited feature is the read/write support for any
XML. Okay, some minor features (see the readme for details) are left
to implement. To provide an example, you have an XML like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<book>
   <title>My First XML</title>
   <chapter>Introduction to XML
       <para>What is HTML</para>
       <para>What is XML</para>
   </chapter>
   <ISBN nr="01234567"/>
</book>

load it: v = xml_load('book.xml');


Now you can browse the data structure an access the nodes, change
values, save it, ...

v.book{1}.ISBN{1}.ATTRS.nr
ans = 01234567

Nice, isn't it?


Note that this is considered to be a testing release (there's a zero
digit before the dot), so the functions may crash from time to time,
but I'd be really interested what you're doing.

For download visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave-xmltools/,
if you're interested in the code, see

for doxygen doc.


kind regards,
