If I want to give XML support for people on my box, so they can use xml scripts.Which package(s) should I install off of http://xml.apache.org

I know a parser comes installed with PHP but is that going to do the job that I need it too? :)

Thanks much,
Jay

XML is not script, it is more or less a mark up language similar to HTML. You offer your clients XML support in forms of XML parsers for each supported languages. You mentioned PHP and xml.apache.org. The stuff in xml.apache.org is mostly for Java.

You also might want to provide your users with more than just XML parsers. There are other XML based technologies, such as XSLT and XMLRPC.

Erm. Yes, that's what I meant. I'm not to familar with XML, and this is a box with friends and freinds of friends. Not pay clients.

I know PHP comes with a XML parser and it's enabled by default and for perl, I would need to install the correct XML parser. The parsers that come with PHP4 are SAX and DOM? and you have to enable DOM (*i think*) and SAX is already configured and enabled by default.

So basically depending what they need it for, there's probley a parser for tons of things.

Thanks, I will look into XSLT and XMLRPC. :)
