Hi, I notice on the Water web site the statement: "Water uses an XML-based syntax called ConciseXML which is compatible with XML 1.0" Could someone please...
Good question. The goal of the ConciseXML syntax was to fix the verbosity and ambiguity problems of XML 1.0 syntax, while remaining compatible with XML 1.0. ...
XML parsing is handled with the "execute" method. The first example below shows 'executing' a string of XML (or ConciseXML) to return a Water object. "<vector>...

I'm new to Water, in fact I have not installed it. I'm wondering if some thought has been given to integration with XUL as an alternative to HTML. I suppose a...
I'm trying to get my Water <server/> to produce a response which is valid RDF. Trouble is, I can't figure out how to get uppercase tags (e.g. r:RDF). Given...
I'm glad you're able to get some RDF stuff working using Water. We've never really tried it, so please let us know when you run into any issues. Water was...

... Thanks, will do. The thing that's made it easy so far is that there are many valid representations for the same RDF graph structure. For example,...

Until recently I was developing an IDE for XUL in Mozilla. However; the number of bugs was killing me. The recent reduction of AOL-TW support from the project...
I only ask this question because it seems that XML is being bashed these days for having problems just marking up data. Why was XML chosen for procedural...
... I guess I'm one of those people "bashing" XML because it isn't good for marking up data. That's why we came up with ConciseXML. ConciseXML can support...
