A data structure for well-formed XML documents, designed for Common Lisp.

About

cxml-stp is an alternative to the W3C's DOM, which cxml also implements. It was written by David Lichteblau as an add-on library for Closure XML and is available under an X11-style license.

Please send bug reports to cxml-devel@common-lisp.net (list information).

Acknowledgements: cxml-stp is inspired by XOM.

Installation

cxml-stp needs Closure XML, Alexandria, and Plexippus XPath.

ASDF is used for compilation. Register the .asd file, e.g. by symlinking it, then compile cxml-stp using asdf:operate.

$ ln -sf `pwd`/cxml-stp.asd /path/to/your/registry/
* (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :cxml-stp)

Implementation-specific notes: At this point, cxml-stp is written to work with Lisp strings (as opposed to runes and rods), and is meant to be used on Lisp implementations with Unicode support.

There is also a rough "STP for DOM users" comparison which should be useful if you have a specific DOM function in mind and are looking for STP's equivalent.
