Closure XML Parser
An XML parser written in Common Lisp.
Closure XML was written by Gilbert Baumann
(unk6 at rz.uni-karlsruhe.de) as part of the Closure web
browser.
Contributions to the parser by
-
Henrik Motakef (hmot at henrik-motakef.de)
(SAX layer; namespace support)
-
David Lichteblau for knowledgeTools
(conversion into an independent package; DOM bug fixing; validation)
and headcraft
(most september/october 2004 changes) and privately (changes
since then).
CXML implements a namespace-aware,
validating SAX-like XML 1.0
parser as well as the DOM Level 2 Core
interfaces.
CXML is licensed under Lisp-LGPL.
