I have updated the Go-XML suite (a parser, XPath and XSLT) and started the documentation at

https://doc.speedata.de/goxml/

The XSLT processor is still work in progress, 21.8% of the official test suite pass. So all basic stuff will work!

I have a new theory based on #anecdata:

In the long term, #corporateIT decides against the best product or technology.

Anecdata points:
- #OS2
- #NovellNetWare
- #LotusNotes
- #XML (this may be a tad controversial)

So the time has come for me to write some proper documentation for xrust... does anyone have a recommendation for #docbook or #DITA editing? Not sure which to go with yet, my #XML knowledge is from the finance world. 😅

Would like to output some static files for hosting.

It turns out that I’ve mostly been writing #XHTML when I thought I was writing #HTML for the past 25 years.

I was never cognizant of the fact that it was closer to XHTML than HTML.

But that does help explain why I thought that the HTML that I’ve been writing was so close to #XML.

🤔💡😁

The fact that this is an SVG tickles my newfound interest in #XML.

XML is a cheap DSL

"The lesson I took from this is that a universal data representation is worth its weight in gold. There are exactly two options in this category. In most cases you should choose JSON. If you need a DSL though, XML is by far the cheapest one, and the cost-efficiency of building on it will empower your team to spend their innovation budget elsewhere."

What's a good #format to serialize simple structured #data in an efficient way?

I'm thinking about some binary #XML encoding. Also, #ASN.1 because it natively uses integers, not just strings. Is the packed representation (PER) widely supported?

The data will be a bunch of interleaved time series streams, so variable field lengths could be a big win.

Is there a format for stuff like that?
