<title>XML Package for R and S-Plus</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>An XML package for the S language</h1>
<p align=right>Source: <a href="XML_0.97-0.tar.gz">XML_0.97-0.tar.gz</a></font>
<p align=right>Windows binary: <a href="XML_0.97-0.zip">XML_0.97-0.zip</a></font>
<p align=right>Last Release: <font color="red">Thu Aug 12 07:56:21 PDT 2004</font>

<p>
This package provides facilities for the S language
to
<ul>
  <li> parse XML files, URLs and strings,
      using either the DOM (Document Object Model)/tree-based
      approach, or the event-driven SAX (Simple API for XML)
      mechanism;
  <li> generate XML content to buffers, files, URLs,
      and internal XML trees;
  <li> read DTDs as S objects.
</ul>
The package supports both R and S-Plus 5 and higher.


<h2><font color=red>NOTE</font></h2>
The most significant visible changes to the package include:
<ul>
  <li> uses libxml2, by default and only libxml(version 1) if libxml2
      is not present
  <li> uses a namespace for R.
</ul>

<h2>Download</h2>
The source for the S package can
be downloaded as <a href="XML_0.97-0.tar.gz">XML_0.97-0.tar.gz</a>.

<p>
Latest windows binary: <a href="XML_0.97-0.zip">XML_0.97-0.zip</a>
<p>

Note that this latest version has not been tested with S-Plus
Specifically, it should work as before, however the <code>state</code>
mechanism for the SAX parser may not.  This just requires testing.
