Genesis

Totoe (Maori for "to split, devide") is a XML parser for GWT. Totoe comes with JSONPath support when parsing JSON and XPath and namespace support when parsing XML. It originated from Piriti a JSON and XML mapper for GWT.

JSON

Totoe uses JSONPath to evaluate JSONPath expressions.

XML

For the XML parsing Totoe relies on Sarissa. Sarissa is a great cross browser XML parser for javascript. Essentially Totoe is a GWT port of Sarissa with the goal to offer a similar API as the GWT XML module. Right now the focus is on parsing XML - there are no methods to create, insert or append documents, elements or nodes. Those features might come in later releases. The big advantage over the GWT XML module is IMHO a cleaner API and the support of XPath and namespaces.

Features / Limitations

• Support for JSONPath expressions
• XML parser with similar API as the GWT XML module
• Support for XPath
• Namespaces support in IE7 and IE8
• Right now no support to create, insert or append documents, elements or nodes.
