expat-1.95.6: description + notes
This distribution has been built for IRIX 6.5 and later versions
of IRIX.
Expat XML Parser
Expat is an XML parser library written in C. It is a stream-oriented parser
in which an application registers handlers for things the parser might find
in the XML document (like start tags). An
introductory article
on using expat is available on
xml.com.
From the README:
Expat, Release 1.95.6
This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat
is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with
the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when
the parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed.
A start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may
register handlers.
Expat is free software. You may copy, distribute, and modify it under the
terms of the License contained in the file, COPYING, distributed with this
package. This license is the same as the MIT/X Consortium license.
Versions of expat that have an odd minor version (the middle number in the
release above), are development releases and should be considered as
beta software. Releases with even minor version numbers are intended to be
production grade software.
A reference manual is available in this distribution; to get it,
install the subsystem named "fw_expat.man.doc", or with
description "expat-1.95.6 documentation". The reference manual
will be installed in the file /usr/freeware/doc/expat/reference.html.
