kXML Project
2002-04-09: kXML 2 passes all XmlPull conformance tests
- Please visit kxml.org for more detailed information (kXML2 is currently hosted at kobjects.org for simplified maintenance).
2002-02-20: kXML 1.21 available
- kDOM attribute handling bug fixed
- workaround for buffering problems with some (broken) MIDP
implementations added
- kXML 2.0 alpha adopted to upcoming common interface with XMLPP
2001-11-20: Size Matters!
In order to reduce the memory footprint and to speed up kXML, I
have implemented an alternative to the existing XML parser. The new
kXML 2.0 (alpha) class "org.kxml.io.XmlReader" reduces the base package
size by about 25%. Both classes are named differently, allowing
simple transition from 1.x to 2.0 without compatibility
issues. The old XmlParser class will remain available
for existing projects. 2001-11-21: kXML 2.0 files updated
2001-11-26: please note: The kXML 2.0 alpha API may still be
subject to changes resulting from ongoing pull parser standardization
efforts.

I am sorry for the inconveniences. I hope the size reduction
justifies the cleanup, at least for KVM users.

methods have been removed. If you encounter compatibility problems
with this version, please write an email to
kxml@enhydra.org.

2001-01-30: Version 0.81 Available
There are quite a lot changes from kXML 0.75 to kXML 0.8.
The most important change is that the packages were renamed
from de.kxml.* to org.kxml.*
Since this change did not allow to keep compatibility without
dublicating all classes, I took the chance to tidy
up kXML a quite bit in several other aspects:
- Renamed Parser to AbstractXmlParser and
DefautlParser to XmlParser for consistency with
the XmlWriter(s).
- Tidied up the optional kDOM package.
- Renamed writeStartTag to startTag (etc.)
in all writer classes.
- Added a separate event type id for text events containing white space only.
I am sorry for any inconvenience.
2000-10-03: Version 0.75 Available
Version 0.75 is now available! This version includes changes for
real KVM-CLDC compatibility and consistency. WAP support is still
untested - contributors in this area are welcomed.
2000-07-28: Version 0.25 Available
kXML Version 0.25 is available. This version adds an exception if
elements are not closed at the end of the document, and adds source
code to the distribution. However, WAP support is still not really
tested.
25 July, 2000 kXML Now Available
kXML is now available for use and download!
Warning: This package is pre-alpha.
The parser and kDOM are being used in applications (the
Information Layer of the COMRIS project),
but the following items still need to be done:
- Testing with the Palm Pilot KVM
- Testing compatibility with "legacy" XML
- Testing of the WBXML support
- Verfication and completion of namespace support, especially in kDOM
