RE: XPath 2.0 in ITS

* I guess that means that if I'm using an Okapi filter in OmegaT, I'm stuck with XPath 1.0 until version 2.0 gets implemented in Okapi.
* Is that correct? 

Yes

 

* Would implementing support for XPath 2.0 in Okapi be a lot of work? (hours, days, weeks)

I have not looked at that code in years, but likely several days, maybe a week. We would have to find a XPath 2.0 library first, then have the code able to switch between both 1.0 and 2.0 (or maybe 2.0 can handle 1.0 too). Anyway. It really depends on various factors.

Thank you, Yves. 

So the lack of support for XPath 2.0 is not in ITS but on Okapi's side

I guess that means that if I'm using an Okapi filter in OmegaT, I'm stuck with XPath 1.0 until version 2.0 gets implemented in Okapi. 

Is that correct? 

Would implementing support for XPath 2.0 in Okapi be a lot of work? (hours, days, weeks)

Thanks a lot.
Cheers, Manuel

Hi Manuel,

 

Technically, ITS 2.0 could use other versions than XPath 1.0. You would have to specify it in an queryLanguage attribute in <rules>.

But it means that the ITS processor would have to support it as well. Currently the ITS processor implemented in Okapi does not.

Dear all,

I understand ITS 2.0 currently only supports XPath 1.0. Could you please confirm whether that's correct?

If that's the case, is there any workaround to use XPath 2.0 methods with ITS Version 2.0?

Thanks a lot.
Cheers, Manuel
