I have been thinking of using XML as a way of dealing with input of commands
and data that control my f90 programs. Using XML in this way would alow new
data types, command words, etc. to be easily added as my input requirements
developed, without having to write new input handling code. (I have seen
something similar to XML used sucessfully in a large f90 building energy
simulation code). However, I have found nothing on the web relating to XML
with Fortran.
My main questions:
Does XML for input to scientific/numerical programs make sense?
Are there any f90 XML parsers out there?
Is it dumb to attempt to write an XML parser in f90?
Thanks,
Simon J Rees
