Hello, Last I was playing around while developping a product when I suddenly found the ZDOM.py, which told me that all ZOPE objects have a DOM implementation of some sort. Now I was wondering how important this implementation is going to be in the future of Zope, In Other Words : Is this DOM implementation going to stay in Zope and will it be expanded in the future? For example, I like the clean syntax of self.getParentNode() instead of getattr(self, 'aq_parent', None); Furtherall is it more easy to learn because the syntax and the meaning of the functions are already familliar by webdevelopers. I'm wondering what other developers think of the ZDOM, I just want your opinion guys :) martijn jacobs eastsite

I am using selected methods like getParentNode() quite regularly. Unfortunately the ZDOM is not actively developed on at the moment. AFAIK the attempts to write a "Zope XML story" have been more or less put on hold because the current implementations are too slow to be useful. This is more a problem of XML as such and of the Python XML tools than of Zope though ... Joachim
