Back to article list Search Articles Add Comment Printer friendly Direct link COM: Link to FAQ on Microsofts website about XML 2002-12-10 -- Steve Johnson Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion
I think there are simply too many caveats to using XML to justify
reinventing the wheel in 2002. The MSXML parser from Microsoft is
incredibly full featured and by using a COM interface to it you get the
added benefit of their improvements to it over time. Not to mention the
fact that for those who now write ASP code they can communicate back and
forth between their ASP pages and Clarion apps via MSXMLHTTP all in one
package. Our xmlFUSE product does a lot more than just parsing (although we
emphasize examples using DOM, SAX, DTD, etc.) including posting data to web
pages, searching Google, and even billing credit cards via Authorize.NET.
I recommend people visit:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm/sdk_intro_6g53.asp (Opens in a new browser)
to get
a real sense of the features of the MSXML parser. That page also contains
FAQs on what all of these various technologies are and what they can do for
you.
