4Suite is a collection of Python tools for XML processing and object data
|
|
management, published by Fourthought, Inc under an open source licence.
|
|
|
|
The suite provides support for XML parsing, several transient and persistent
|
|
DOM implementations, XPath expressions, XPointer, XSLT transforms, XLink, RDF
|
|
and ODMG object databases.
|
|
|
|
The development of 4Suite is closely coordinated with that of the publicly
|
|
developed PyXML extension for Python. 4Suite is not intended to replace
|
|
PyXML, but rather to augment it with additional functionality. As certain
|
|
parts of 4Suite reach maturity they will be transferred to PyXML (this has
|
|
already happened with the 4DOM implementation of the DOM API). Eventually
|
|
PyXML will be a complete and stable toolkit, while 4Suite will continue to
|
|
provide bleeding edge (re)implementations.
|
|
|
|
The user of Python 2.0 and later therefore now has three options for XML
|
|
processing: the built-in 'xml' package, PyXML, and 4Suite. PyXML overrides
|
|
and/or extends the 'xml' package, and 4Suite does the same for PyXML.
