| I've got a couple of blog posts on SXML and namespaces, if you haven't already seen them:
but these are higher-level and so perhaps not useful to you.
There's definitely very little documentation and only marginally more code examples. Most of this I reverse engineered from docs I pieced together and the original code itself. Peter did a great job at adding a lot of documentation, for example to the sxpath low-level functions, but there are still large gaps. There's also bugs and missing functionality. And as noted, it's a grab-bag of parts which don't necessarily work together, or provide an 80% solution. Case in point, the lack of namespace support in sxml-modify.
If you have specific questions you could try asking here, or on the Sourceforge list. I haven't used sxml-modify myself. Which low-level tools did you want to learn about? On Jul 25, 2014, at 1:54 PM, Nathaniel Rudavsky-Brody < address@hidden> wrote: Hello,
Since this is my first post, let me say how happy I've been since I discovered Chicken: thanks everyone for creating such a well-thought-out environment.
I've got a general question about the sxml tools. I've been using the top-level functions for a while now, for tasks I could do in XSLT, but prefer doing in Scheme. I've always found the lower-level interface(s) a bit intimidating.
But recently I got stuck on the lack of namespaces in sxml-modify, and started wondering if it would be possible to rewrite it, and then... well more generally, whether it's worth learning how to use the low-level tools, and what I could do with them. Or are pre-post-order and sxpath and sxml-path as good as it gets, for an average user like me? When I search around the web, I can't seem to find examples of more advanced uses of the tools (or at least, well-documented ones...).
Many thanks for your thoughts,
Nathaniel
