Starting with OS/400 V5R1 IBM offers the “XML Toolkit for iSeries” (5733XT1) product. This powerful product enables RPG to work with XML data. Unfortunately the product is diffucult to understand. It takes some time to understand and to use it properly because objects and pointers are somewhat strange for RPG programmers.
That was the point when I decided to write the XML wrapper service program to make things easier. The XML wrapper service program hides all the strange and unknown things.
The service program provides procedures to:
- parse a PC .xml file
- create a XML document in the main storage
- materialize a XML document (create a .xml file)
- navigate through a XML document
- SAX Parser (V2.0+)
