[XERCESJ-1428] [GSoC]: Implement a streamable subset of the XPointer xpointer() scheme for XInclude

• Type: New Feature
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 2.9.1
• Component/s: XInclude 1.0

Description

Xerces currently supports the XPointer Framework [1] and the XPointer element() [2] scheme. Though this meets the minimum requirements for XInclude [3] it's quite limited in capability compared to the more powerful XPointer xpointer() [4] scheme which allows one to select document fragments using XPath. Xerces' streaming XInclude processor would be greatly improved if it provided support for a streamable subset of this scheme.
