What is HaXml?

hunk ./docs/index.html 21 -HaXml is a collection of utilities for using Haskell and XML together. -It includes a parser for XML, a separate error-correcting parser for HTML, -and pretty-printers for XML and HTML. For processing tasks, the following -components are included: +HaXml is a collection of utilities for using Haskell and XML +together. Its basic facilities include: hunk ./docs/index.html 24 + + hunk ./docs/index.html 32 -XmlLib is a combinator library for generic XML document -processing, including transformation, editing, and generation. -Haskell2Xml is a replacement class for Haskell's Show/Read -classes: it allows you to read and write ordinary Haskell data as XML -documents. We include a version of Noel Winstanley's DrIFT tool -which automatically derives this class for you. DtdToHaskell is -a tool for translating any valid XML DTD into equivalent Haskell types. -In conjunction with the Xml2Haskell class framework, this allows -you to generate, edit, and transform documents as normal typed values in -programs, and to read and write them as human-readable XML documents. -Finally, Xtract is a grep-like tool for XML documents, -loosely based on the XQL query language. +For processing XML documents, the following components are provided: + hunk ./docs/index.html 52 +
