Re: [Caml-list] XPath implementation or equivalent

[Julien Tesson <julien.tesson@lacl.fr>]

Thanks Alain for your input,

part of your XPath evaluator still compile so I might give it a try later, but as the xpath expression lexer use wlex which is no longer available, it's not straight forward. 
Being unfamiliar with the wlex replacement ulex, I don't know if it would be a long work to update the lexer, but it's probably more than what I can afford right now, unfortunately.

pxp-xpath doesn't compile anymore, their is a typing error about a definition of type containing a cycle.

If anyone can think about an other library that would help querying XML documents, I'm interested ;)

regards,
Julien
