[PEPr] Comment on XML::XML_Indexing

Christian Stocker (http://pear.php.net/user/chregu) has commented on the proposal for XML::XML_Indexing. Comment: I don't know, what I should think of this package. Nice idea, missleading title, wrong implementation of XPath 1) You're not implementing "Not all of the XPath language, but an appropriate subset for what a big XML files is expected to contain.", but a very limited one, which is even wrong. the get the title of the 2nd entry of my test file, I have to write /planet/entry/title[2] while it should be /planet/entry[2]/title 2) More than one attribute matching doesn't work 3) namespaces are not supported (AFAICS) 4) It exhausted my memory (a 5 MB File hit the 16 MB memlimit, which XPath/PHP5 didn't) The idea is nice and I certainly see a use for this package, but I think the name is missleading, since it promises too much Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=158 -- Sent by PEPr, the automatic proposal system at http://pear.php.net
