Complete Download

• This jar file contains all the library code as well as the command-line tester and the applets.

Package:com.simonstl.sax.xlink

• The Link class, version 0.22, (representing a single connection between locations) is available in source or compiled.
• The LinkSet class, version 0.24, (representing a set of connections between locations) is available in source or compiled. At present it provides some utility functions.
• The XLinkFilter class, version 0.23, operates between the SAX parser and the application and creates a list of links. It is available in source or compiled. You'll also need John Cowan's ParserFilter class.

Package:com.simonstl.sax.location

• The LocationFilter class, version 0.10, (representing a single connection between locations) is available in source or compiled.

Sample applications

• XLinkTest Command-line interface
• The XLinkUser class, version 0.12, sets up the XLinkFilter class and collects its output. It is available in source or compiled.
• The XLinkTest class, version 0.11, provides a command-line interface to test out the XLinkUser and other classes. It is available in source or compiled.Note: The code is currently set up to use AElfred, but may be modified to use another SAX parser. The command line usage is java XLinkTest URL.
• An easy jar download that includes all required files is also available.
• LinkMap Applet
• The LinkMap applet is a much-revised version of the extended linking image applet I created for Building XML Applications. You can see the applet in action or download the code. (A single jar file contains all source and required classes, including the XLinkFilter library.)

Coming soon: more documentation, more examples, and more easily downloaded code!
