XML News from Thursday, February 26, 2004

Bodo Tasche has released Majix 1.2.2, an open source program written in Java that transform RTF file into XML. MajiX is Java compliant. It supports headings, lists, simple tablea, bold face , italics and underlines.


Jez Higgins has posted a new version of Arabica (nee SAXinC++), an open source C++ XML parser toolkit that supports SAX2 and DOM2 by wrapping an underlying parser such as expat, Xerces, libxml, or the Microsoft XML parser COM component. It supports various string types. It is published under a BSD style license. This is a bug fix release.


Tim Bray has updated the beta of Genx, his pure C library for outputting canonical XML. This version adds a genxNextUnicodeChar function that enables you to skip over malformed UTF-8 data. Frankly, this strikes me as more than a little dangerous. This second beta also mintegrates more cleanly with C++ than previous versions. Genx is published under the expat license. This is a very liberal, non-viral but GPL-compatible license.
