XML (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

For information about XML, see this XML website.

Windows Embedded Compact supports a subset of XML. Windows Embedded Compact does not support the following:

  • The XSLTemplate and IXSLProcessor interfaces. Windows Embedded Compact does support XSLT through the transformNode Method, but does not support template caching.
  • The ServerXMLHTTP object.
  • Free threading through the FreeThreadedDOMDocument object.
  • The IWinHttp interface.
  • Data Source Objects.

In addition, XML for Windows Embedded Compact has limited security support.

The desktop implementation of the XML control gives you two threading options. However, Windows Embedded Compact supports only one of those threading options: access by a single thread. Windows Embedded Compact does not support the free-threading model.

XML Minimal Parser is a limited version of the Microsoft XML Parser version 3.0 Service Pack (SP) 1 and is implemented as a scaled down version of the Simple API for XML (SAX).

The XML Minimal Parser in Windows Embedded Compact supports only the following SAX2 interfaces:

XML Minimal Parser does not support DTD validation or element resolution. The Minimal Parser ignores all DTD elements in the XML file. Also, the XML Minimal Parser does not support the MSXML Writer class.

To add this feature to your OS, see XML Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables.
