XimpleWare is proud to announce the the release of version 2.2 of VTD-XML, the next generation XML parsers/indexer/slicer/editor. This release significantly expands VTD-XML's ability to slice, split, edit and incrementally update the XML documents. To this end, we introduce the concept of namespace-compensated element fragment. This release also adds VTD+XML index writing capability to the VTD Navigator class. Other enhancements in this release include index size pre-computation, support for HTTP get, and some bug fixes.
