Hallo!
So, I think this XML representation could be okay (see bottom of the mail):
Now I'm unsure if I should implement the parser myself or if I should use a XML parser (e.g. Xerces from apache) ?
Thanks for any thoughts, LG Georg
PS: XML examples: e.g.: a list container:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE container SYSTEM "irgendwas.dtd"> <container> <h_list> <!-- is an element of PDContainer, so there could also be other datastructures like the normal PD array --> <list> <!-- this is the pd list --> <float> 34 </float> <symbol> afsdf </symbol> </list> <float> 423 </float> <symbol> sfad </symbol> <list> <float> -4 </float> <symbol> herc </symbol> </list> </h_list> </container>
or a map (uses key-value pairs):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE container SYSTEM "irgendwas.dtd"> <container> <h_map> <key> <list> <float> 34 </float> <symbol> afsdf </symbol> </list> <float> 423 </float> </key> <value> <symbol> sfad </symbol> <list> <float> -4 </float> <symbol> herc </symbol> </list> </value> </h_map> </container>
