Expat -is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with -the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when -the parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. -A start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may -register handlers. - -Expat is free software. You may copy, distribute, and modify it under the -terms of the License contained in the file, COPYING, distributed with this -package. This license is the same as the MIT/X Consortium license. - -Versions of expat that have an odd minor version (the middle number in the -release above), are development releases and should be considered as -beta software. Releases with even minor version numbers are intended to be -production grade software. - -To build expat, you first run the configuration shell script in the top -level distribution directory: - - ./configure - -There are many options which you may provide to configure (which you can -discover by running configure with the --help option.) But the one of most -interest is the one that sets the installation directory. By default, -the configure script will set things up to install libexpat into -/usr/local/lib and expat.h into /usr/local/include. If, for example, you'd -prefer to install into /home/me/mystuff/lib and /home/me/mystuff/include, -you can tell configure about that with: - - ./configure --prefix=/home/me/mystuff - -After running the configure script, the "make" command will build things and -"make install" will install things into their proper location. Note that -you need to have write permission into the directories into which things -will be installed. - -Alternatively, on Win32 systems with Microsoft's Developer's Studio installed, -you can simply double-click on lib/expat.dsp from Windows Explorer and build -and install in the usual way from with DevStudio. - -As a third alternative you may choose to download expat_win32bin which has -a pre-compiled dll in it. - -A reference manual is available in the doc/reference.html in this -distribution. - -The homepage for this project is http://expat.sourceforge.net. There are -links there to connect you to the bug reports page. If you need to report -a bug when you don't have access to a browser, you may also send a bug -report by email to expat-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net. - -Discussion related to the direction of future expat development takes place -on expat-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net. Archives of this list may be found -at http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=expat-discuss. |
