Re: Wrapping CSV format data in XML

Hi Martin. Thanks for your interest.

There are various reasons for this approach, some political, some
volume/compression
issues (I'm dealing with gigabytes/day of metering data)

On the assumption that I want CSV style data as the contents of an element,
and
I wish to preserve the line terminators, what is the appropriate Schema
element type
to use?

Thanks
Michael

What about <line><comma>....</comma><comma>....</comma></line>,
and so on, or of course anything closer to the semantics of
your actual data?

Regards,   Martin.
