textproc/scew 0.3.1nb3 NetBSD

The aim of SCEW (by Aleix Conchillo Flaque) is to provide an easy interface around the XML Expat parser. Expat gives an API based on event handling mechanisms to load XML files. SCEW incorporates functions to create XML files and handle XML trees. That is, add and delete nodes, change attribute names and values etc.

SCEW provides functions to load and access XML elements without the need to create the event handling routines and probably the most important: without the need to rewrite these functions each time you need to load a different XML document. It also lets you access the internal Expat parser; that means you can still have all the functionality that the Expat library gives you.
