Can anyone give a reason as to the recent OT discussion of "Don't use XML for configuration." I don't understand why not, and we as a company frequently do. XML is well formed, well known, with parsers available in all major programming languages. Ini files are a Microsoft standard (that counts as a point to the negative when developing in UNIX). They have very limited ability to model complex and/or repeating values, and can end up being very long. Could anyone give me the other point of view on this? -Wayne Simmons -- Software Engineer InterSystems USA, Inc. 303-858-1000 _______________________________________________ Perl-XML mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
