Subject: Re: [xsl] Processing empty nodes in XSLT From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 11:38:06 -0500 |
Yes I'm afraid so. The XML that I get from the outside source has all data wrapped in CDATA. So I have to give it back that way. Their parser chokes if I don't.
The number of people I come across that happily read and write XML to disk without using a proper parser/writer for the job outweighs those that do.
I don't know if its because XML looks simple, or that extracting values or writing XML is relatively hard in comparison to standard IO, but loads of people seem quite happy doing it. Then they have to layer on hack after hack as the various input XML breaks the parsing.
One guy told me he did it for performance reasons...
Cheers, Wendell
