Credits
I've had help from a number of resources; if I haven't listed
you here, it means that I just haven't gotten around to adding you, or
that I'm a dork and have forgotten. In either case, feel free to write
me and complain. I may ignore you, but at least you tried. (Actually, I
don't conciously ignore anybody except spammers.)
- Michael Granger supplied a patch for REXML that make the unit
tests pass under Ruby 1.7.
- Stefan Scholl, who provided a lot of feedback and bug reports
while I was trying to get ISO-8859-1 support working.
- Steven E Lumos for volunteering information about XPath
particulars.
- Erik Terpstra heard my pleas and submitted several logos for
REXML. After sagely avoiding choosing one for several weeks, I finally
forced my poor slave of a wife to pick one (this is what we call
"delegation"). She did, with caveats; Erik quickly made the
changes, and the result is what you now see at the top of this page. He
also supplied a smaller version
that you can include with your projects that use REXML, if you'd
like.
- Bug fixes provided by Fumitoshi UKAI (CData metacharacter quoting
bug)
- Oliver M . Bolzer is maintaining a Debian package distribution of
REXML. He also has provided good feedback and bug reports about
namespace support.
- Ernest Ellingson contributed the sourcecode for turning UTF16 and
UNILE encodings into UTF8, which allowed REXML to get the 100% OASIS
valid tests rating.
- TAKAHASHI Masayoshi, for information on UTF
- James Britt contributed code that makes using
Document.parse_stream easier to use by allowing it to be passed either a
Source, File, or String.

Electric
XML: This was, after all, the inspiration for REXML. Originally,
I was just going to do a straight port, and although REXML doesn't
in any way, shape or form resemble Electric XML, still the basic
framework and philosophy was inspired by E-XML. And I still use E-XML in
my Java projects.
- Tobias Reif: Numerous bug reports, and suggestions for
improvement.
-
NQXML:
While I may complain about the NQXML API, I wrote a few applications
using it that wouldn't have been written otherwise, and it was very
useful to me. It also encouraged me to write REXML. Never complain about
free software *slap*.
- Robert Feldt: Bug reports and suggestions/recommendations about
improving REXML. Testing is one of the most important aspects of
software development.
- Many, many other people who've submitted bug reports,
suggestions, and positive feedback. You're all co-developers!
