Perl module for RELAX NG?by mattr (Curate) |
on Dec 05, 2006 at 07:20 UTC ( #587803=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
mattr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Dear Monks,
Slashdot just has a story up today, Tim Bray Says RELAX, about RELAX NG an originator of XML recommending the RELAX notation instead. He notes ATOM syndication format is based on RELAX.
However I couldn't find any perl tools on the software list or on cpan (except a parser in CORBA::XMLSchemas that makes RELAX files). There is a lot of RELAX in Java land though it seems. Is there anything out there? I hate editing XML and always thought a natural language style notation would be much better. That wish is approximated by RELAX NG's "flattened schema" like this example from Wikipedia:
start = element book { page+ }
My only other question is whether this notation could be extended (if it doesn't allow it already) to include not just a schema but the data inside it. My guess is it would then look a bit like a data structure serialized into perl..
