RE: [xml-dev] Xpath engine running over DOM API

["Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@ntlworld.com>]

DOM is actually a pretty inadequate API for the things XPath needs, for example it's very difficult to sort nodes into document order.

 

You could look at Jaxen.

 

Saxon also allows you to interface external data stores via an internal API (rather higher level than DOM), but it's probably not as clear an interface as Jaxen.

Subject: [xml-dev] Xpath engine running over DOM API

Hi all,

 

I want to know if someone knows an Xpath engine built over a standard (more or less) DOM API.

What I want is a storage-neutral Xpath implementation relying only on a DOM document object

and DOM methods to process the query.

If so then just providing a DOM API for some kind of XML storage solution I'll be able to use Xpath.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Garland.
