Hi,
I'm defining an XFML format - a major design goal is ease of
implementation. We have two possibilities of implementing trees. My
question is: which one is it easier to write implementations (export,
import, ...) for, in a variety of languages (from JAVA to Perl to
Moveabletype's template system)?? The language we are designing is
http://xfml.org
<facet id="12">
<title>Things to do</title>
<description>Activities, events, etc</description>
<topic id="camping">
<name>Camping</name>
<topic id="rough">
<name>roughing it</name>
</topic>
<topic id="wimpy">
<name>Comfort Plus</name>
</topic>
</topic>
<topic id="sightseeing">
<name>Sight Seeing</name>
</topic>
<topic id="eating">
<name>eating</name>
<topic>
</facet>
Or alternatively:
<facet id="12">
<title>Things to do</title>
<description>Activities, events, etc</description>
</facet>
<topic id="camping" facetid="12">
<name>Camping</name>
<topic>
<topic id="rough" facetid="12" parentTopicid="camping">
<name>roughing it</name>
</topic>
<topic id="very_rough" facetid="12" parentTopicid="rough">
<name>very rough camping</name>
</topic>
[and so on ...]
Peter
