[Corpora-List] XML parsers vs regex

[Christoph Ruehlemann]

Hi Matías

Have you heard of XPath and XQuery? My most recent book ("Narrative in
English conversation", CUP, www.cambridge.org/9780521196987) contains a
section in which I try and explain how they work. Two related, extremely
powerful query languages for XML texts, which come at a cost, being fully
declarative programming languages.

Best
Chris
