exoml v0.0.1 Exoml
A module to decode/encode xml into a tree structure.
The aim of this parser is to be able to represent any xml/html5 document as a tree-like structure, but be able to put it back together in a sane way.
In comparison to other xml parsers, this one preserves 99.9% of the broken stuff. The goal is to be able to decode the typical broken html document, modify it, and encode it again, without loosing too much of its quirks.
Currently the parser preserves whitespace between <xml> nodes, so <pre> or <textarea> tags should be unaffected,
by a decode/1
into encode/1
.
The only part where the parser tidies up, is the attr="part"
of a <xml attr=”part”> node.
With well-formed XML, the parser does work really well.
