Will there be a validating parser?

Hello Everybody.

We do our first steps in processing XML with Natural.
Based on this we realized, that the Natural parser (Nat 6) is not a
validating one.

This implies, that you have to now which kind of xml-document you
want to parse. If it is not the expected one (but welformed), then only
the NONE IGNORE gives you a hint.

0230 PARSE XML XMLIn INTO PATH ParserXPath VALUE ParserContent

0290 DECIDE ON FIRST ParserXPath

0440 NONE IGNORE
0460 END-DECIDE

0480 END-PARSE

My question is: Are there plans to provide a validating parser for natural in the near furture?

Hello Christian,

The upcoming Natural 6.2 does not include a validating parser, sorry.

Regards,
Michael
