libxml-perl
lots of useful xml stuff for handling xml documents in perl,
including PerlSAX.
libxml-xslt-perl
take a xslt stylesheet and some xml, and generate new xml (or html,
which is really a specific form of xml). This would be useful to
turn xml-encoded data into html for display on a web page. A
libxml-sablot-perl
an alternative xslt processor. libxml-sablot-perl has been in debian
longer, but we are starting to migrate to libxml-xslt-perl, because
the backend (libxslt) seems to be significantly faster than
sablotron.
libxml-writer-perl
generates xml; useful for converting text into xml
psgml
tdtd
Emacs modes editing xml and DTDs.
libxml-xpath-perl
module for accessing arbitrary elements inside of XML trees, blessed
by the W3C. useful for getting at a particular element inside an xml
tree when you don't know in advance where the element is
(i.e. selecting a random element from the tree).
libxml-grove-perl
another approach to the xpath problem
axkit
Write your web pages in xml, deliver them in HTML. Want to change
the look and feel of your entire site? Just change the
stylesheet. Want to generate an AvantGo-friendly version? Don't
change the text, just use a different stylesheet.
My company's web sites (pdamd.com, pdajd.com, pdare.com, pdafn.com,
pdaed.com) all use axkit as the back end, and our editors write
everything in XML. Browse the sites, and you'll see that a lot of
the content is repeated across all sites, but it all comes from a
single source file. The look and feel is all handled by xslt
stylesheets, and the html is generated by apache running mod_perl
and axkit.
