xml-dev - Re: Parsing a DTD for information

[Indrajit Chaudhuri <IndrajitC@catsglobal.co.in>]

Hi Abhishek,

If you are using Java, then you can try using the XMLDTDScanner class 
provided in the Xerces 3.0.0EA3 Java Parser avaliable from IBM
Alphaworks.

In case you are using C++, I think there is no C++ parser which provides
the facility to retrieve element information from a DTD (if anyone knows
about it please let me know!). In this case, one approach may be to use
some converter to convert the DTD to DDML/XSchema and retrieve the
schema information from the DDML/XSchema file.

Thanks,
Indrajit
