[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59245] Implementation of an XML interface without Java dependency

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #59245 (project octave):

@Philip: Thank you very much for your feedback.
Could you please elaborate on what you think is bad about how RapidXML
implements IO?
It takes a pointer to an array for input and writes to any string iterator.
Imho, it is a plus point that it doesn't try to hide file IO in its API
because that is bound to cause issues on some platforms (Windows, I am looking
at you!). We have several wrappers in Octave already that handle the platform
specific peculiarities...

Excel's error messages (including file names and line numbers) proved to be
quite useful to identify the issue...

AFAICT, there is no XML standard that dictates or suggests order of sibling
nodes. That must be OOXML specific.
