<H2>What is xmlproc?</H2>
<P>
xmlproc is an XML parser written in Python. It is a nearly complete
validating parser, with only minor deviations from the specification
(listed below). It supports both <A
HREF="catalog-doco.html">SGML Open Catalogs and XCatalog
0.1</A>, as well as error messages in different languages. xmlproc
also supports namespaces. Access to DTD information is provided, as is
a separate DTD parser. SAX drivers are provided with the parser.
</P>
<P>
Additional utilities are command-line tools for validating and
non-validating parsing as well as DTD parsing and also a GUI tool for
parsing documents. A DTD to XML Schema converter is also included.
</P>
<H2>Licence?</H2>
<P>
xmlproc is free and you can do as you like with it. If you change it,
please let me know. A <a href="license.html">formal BSD-ish
license</a> is available.
</P>
<H2>Documentation</H2>
<P>
At the moment the following topics are documented:
</P>
<UL>
<LI><A HREF="xmlproc_tut.html">High-level xmlproc documentation</A>.
<LI><A HREF="xmlproc_cmdline.html">Using the command-line parsers</A>.
<LI><A HREF="xmlproc-doco.html">Using xmlproc from Python code</A>.
<LI><A HREF="xmlproc-dtd-doco.html">The DTD API</A>.
<LI><A HREF="xmlproc-catalog-doco.html">The catalog file support</A>.
<LI><A HREF="xmlproc_dtdparser.html">The DTD parser</A>.
<LI><A HREF="xmlproc_ns.html">The namespace support</A>.
</UL>
<P>
Note that it is recommended to use xmlproc through the
<a href="http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/software/saxlib/">SAX API</a>
rather than directly, since this provides much greater freedom in the choice
of parsers. (For example, you can switch to using Pyexpat which is
written in C without changing your code.)
</P>
<H2>Getting xmlproc</H2>
<P>
You can download xmlproc <A HREF="xmlproc.zip">here</A>.
</P>
<H2>Feedback</H2>
<P>
Any and all feedback is welcome, from suggestions for improvements or
new features to bug reports. And I really mean it! If you have some
opinions on this program, please let me hear them.
</P>
<H2>Deviations from the XML specification</H2>
<P>
xmlproc does not follow the XML specification in these respects:
</P>
<UL>
<LI>External parameter entities are not allowed inside markup declarations.
<LI>No attempt is made to deal with different character sets or encodings.
<LI>The parser does not check for the illegal characters.
<LI>The parser allows some syntactic constructs to cross entity boundaries
in ways that are not allowed.
</UL>
<P>
All other deviations from the specification are unintentional bugs and
should be reported to me via email. Hopefully, xmlproc will be 100%
compliant in version 1.00.
</P>

manner. If you know of one that isn't listed, please <A
