Subject: [libxml-devel] Ruby Libxml Tutorial - Reader API
Message-ID: <AANLkTilvYKQj6ukW4c56xiD2nPLbUiT3jXobCs6jN_at@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

I have written this tutorial [1] on using libxml's cursor API( XML::Reader
). I was exploring it for my Google Summer of Code project[2], wherein I
need to write a wrapper over ruby-libxml to parse NeXML[3] files. Since
ruby-libxml  currently lacks any tutorial, I was hoping that my tutorial
could be used or adapted to form a better version. I think it would help
beginners to have a tutorial section on the main site.

Hmm,
You could have used the libxmlr wrapper. I am assuming you just didnt find it.

github.com/dreamcat4/libxml4r

It includes links, help and examples. Its all on the above homepage.

Even if  libxmlr might have made things easier, I thinks it's great
that you have done this. It's always helpful when developer
tutorialize their own work.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <AANLkTimak6IBTjCZJlU04UDpEf2gsa4HohVflVu1ZZbx@mail.gmail.com>

Composing an XML document with ruby libxml is quite intuitive. Does not
actually need a tutorial; API docs are sufficient. Still I have provided a
code example[1] on writing creating XML with ruby libxml. I hope that people
will find it useful.

Hi Dreamcat,

I had come across your project, and it indeed is good.

I have to add NeXML parsing and serializing support to BioRuby. Libxml is an
existing BioRuby dependency. Using your wrapper would mean adding more
dependency to it, which I do not want. Naturally, I did not give libxml4r a
thorough look.

Before, I had worked with the Nokogiri library. That time i did not even
understand SAX or StAX; just DOM. I would dare say Nokogiri's documentation
is better compared to libxml and they have nice tutorials. It helped me do
my job, within a few minutes of encounter with the library.

What I am trying to emphasize is that having tutorials on the main site
helps, atleast for beginners. That is why I wrote this and forwarded the
idea of either linking to my post from the main site or maybe adapting it to
form better tutorials and putting it on the site :).
