to the versions corresponding to the 2006-09 release. This should have
been done when the main hugs package was updated to this version back in
October of past year.
HaXml is a collection of utilities for parsing, filtering, transforming
and generating XML documents using Haskell. Its basic facilities include:
* A parser for XML.
* A separate error-correcting parser for HTML.
* An XML validator.
* Pretty-printers for XML and HTML.
For processing XML documents, the following components are provided:
* Combinators 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.
The DrIFT tool can automatically derive 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 XPath and XQL query languages. It can be used either from the
command-line, or within your own code as part of the library.
