Currently in GNUstep, the NSXMLNode class and its relatives have been stubbed out but not implemented yet. Because of this our application on Mac includes XML parsing and generating capabilities that are missing from the Linux/GNUstep version. We would love to add this functionality to the Linux version. Unfortunately, our current development schedule won't give us a chance to devote any large chunks of time to this until probably sometime next year.
My question right now is a general one about where these XML classes fit in the GNUstep list of priorities. Specifically, is anyone likely to be working on them in the next few months? It will help our planning and setting expectations with our customers.
While we don't have time to do the implementation ourselves, we would be very happy to help with testing and debugging. Our code covers a substantial number of the methods in these classes, so I think we can help ensure that at least the basic functionality is all working the same as in Cocoa when the implementation gets to that point.
Thanks! GNUstep is an amazing project, and we very much appreciate the tremendous amount of effort that has gone into it.
