An update on the Mythryl XML SAX parser project<\/a>: the validation step of elements is going quite well. The specification called for following the regular expression spelled out by the DTD for each element (see production 39). So I whipped out my recursive descent parser and built a nearly trivial function to translate the DTD specification for each element (beginning at production 46) into a parser structure usable by the recursive descent parser. Then I had to put together a List of the content of each element (nothing more than a summary, released as soon as it’s used) of the XML file and added the validation step in the etag production (the aforementioned production 39).<\/p>\n

This all turned out to be quite simple and takes advantage of a mechanism in place and proven. The only question will be how to handle error reporting in a usable manner.<\/p>\n

Previous work continues to support the direct use of the BNF as a start for getting the syntax handling rock solid with near-zero effort, allowing concentration on semantics.<\/p>\n

In other matters, as I mentioned on Facebook, Cynbe has been diagnosed with lung cancer, as he announced here<\/a>, and is looking for assistance with the Mythryl project. Please let me know if you’re interested and happen to understand that functional programming is not a reference to C, C++, or Pascal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
