An XML package for Ada 95XML4Ada95 is a package enabling the programmer to use XML documents with the Ada 95 programming language. It is written and maintained by Denny Vrandecic.
Using XML4Ada95 enables you to parse and serialize XML-Documents, access them via the DOM-Interface and validate them with DTDs and XML Schema.
XML4Ada95 actually does not offer an implementation of these standards, but rather a binding, an interface to the Xerces-Package developed by the Apache Group.
I appreciate any kind of input, especially language corrections (English is not my native language, as you surely noticed), notes, bug reports and fixes, and questions.
License
The package is licensed by a BSD-like license. Basically it says you may do whatever you like with the code, as long as you say "thank you" and keep the copyright notice. And if anything goes wrong, you can't sue me. Here you can read the complete license.
