Hi, I have some problems with the ANYContent type in HaXml. Currently (1.13) ANYContent is defined as data ANYContent = ANYContent which means I cannot store anything in there. I need two things: 1) Parse a file where some elements have ANY content, but be able to use the content. 2) Create a data structure and fill the ANYContent field and be able to write that to an XML file. I suggest the following sollution:
newtype Unparsed = Unparsed String data ANYContent = forall a . XmlContent a => Either UnParsed (ANYContent a)
If an XML file is parsed we don't know the type yet. Therefore we put everything in Unparsed field. Later on one can use a Parser on that explicitly. It would also make the roundtrip XML->Haskell ->XML more stable. Cheers, Georg -- ---- Georg Martius, Tel: (+49 34297) 89434 ---- ------- http://www.flexman.homeip.net ---------
