	WXR compatibility by Geoffrey Sneddon :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Must the WXR importer remain compatible with all possible WXR exports, including those that aren't XML documents? If it must remain compatible, then WP can never use an WXR importer, and WP will need to stop claiming it is XML (as the de-facto standard will remain the status-quo of it not always being). If it doesn't need to, it makes it far easier for any other blogging software to write importers as they can use out-of-the-box XML parsers and be compatible with WP (instead of needing to write a parser of their own, which gets quite annoying if you can't copy/paste the GPL WP code). -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/> _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers

Is it possible to convert non-XML WXR exports into valid XML on the fly? How bad are they? _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers

How bad are they? Yeah, I guess. Seeming we have <generator> giving (WP) version, we should be able to do it based upon WP version. If anyone can help to gather together a list of bugs (only those that cause WXR to not be XML) affecting WP versions (up to 2.8, ones that only exist in trunk can be fixed at an export level) I would be grateful.
