On: Assembly for XML

[OhHeyItsE]

For the coder who looks at XML and says "This isn't quite difficult enough to work with already. There must be another way!"

To be honest, the author is not wrong. It does look easier than XSLT.

[wtetzner → chc]

But it doesn't look easier than XQuery.

Not really. It may look more familiar if you can only think procedurally.

Not just difficult, but verbose. XML/DOM manipulations are very verbose, especially in Java. Xembly make them very simple and compact.

XML is not difficult to work with though.
