TclDOM is a Tcl language binding for the W3C's DOM standard. DOM provides a tree view of an XML document. As of version 3.2, the TclDOM package is included in the TclXML distribution.

Download and Installation

For version v3.2 of TclDOM, just install the TclXML package.

Examples

The TclXML package distribution includes a number of useful example scripts. These are as follows:

  • tkxmllint.tcl

    This application provides a graphical interface for the xmllint command-line tool that is part of Gnome libxml2 library.

  • cgi2dom.tcl

    The cgi2dom package turns a HTTP query string into a DOM tree.

  • domtext.tcl

    The domtext package provides a Tk megawidget. It makes the Text widget DOM-aware. Instead of inserting characters into a Text widget, a domtext widget is associated with a DOM tree. The widget displays a text representation of the DOM document.

    A domtext widget responds to certain DOM events that occur on its associated DOM tree. The widget also posts DOM events. A domtext widget allows character data to be edited, and updates the corresponding DOM text node with the new character data.

  • domtree.tcl

    The domtree package provides a BWidget megawidget. It makes the BWidget Tree widget DOM-aware. A domtree widget may be configured to display a DOM tree, which is represented as a tree of nodes.

    A domtree widget responds to certain DOM events that occur on its associated DOM tree. The widget also posts DOM events.
