Can we talk about Haskell use cases? It seems like we want different APIs for parsing, transforming, and producing XML. Most of the time, I am less interested in XML as a datastructure per se than I am in converting from XML to a Haskell data type or producing XML from a Haskell data type. Has anyone here played with HWSProxyGen or Haifa? -Alex- ______________________________________________________________ S.

The motivation here is to have a standard API for e.g. parsing an XML file. I'm sure it would be easy to agree on some signatures like
readXml :: String -> Maybe XML showXml :: XML -> String
fReadXml :: FilePath -> IO XML fWriteXml :: FilePath -> XML -> IO ()
hGetXml :: Handle -> IO XML hPutXml :: Handle -> XML -> IO ()
Would we also want some sort of stream API, similar to SAX?
streamXML :: (Monad m) => m Char -> m SAXEvent
