GETTING THE FRAGMENT The way that you are currently getting the XML fragment is causing the namespace declarations to be lost. In your fragment ns2 is no longer a prefix, you just have a element name with a colon in it (ns2:Person). This is going to cause problems with namespace aware parsers. The article below … Read more
Apparently, ES6 doesn’t need namespacing because each file is a separate module. Not exactly. Each module does have its own scope, that is correct, but not every file is a module. There still are scripts in ES6 that work just like those from ES5, and are executed in the global scope. In those scripts, you … Read more
I guess it’s ok if you think it helps, but many Clojure projects don’t do so — cf. Compojure (using a top-level compojure ns and various compojure.* ns’s for specific functionality), Ring, Leiningen… Clojure itself uses clojure.* (and clojure.contrib.* for contrib libraries), but that’s a special case, I suppose. Yes! You absolutely must do so, … Read more
Namespacing in Swift is implicit. All classes and other symbols belong to the target (module) they are defined in. So if you define a class String the fully qualified name would be MyTarget.String. When there is a name collision, you have to prefix the class name with the module (framework) it is defined in, except … Read more
A namespace is simply the space in which names exist (seems obvious enough now). Let’s say you have two pieces of code, one to handle linked lists, the other to handle trees. Now both of these pieces of code would benefit from a getNext() function, to assist in traversal of the data structure. However, if … Read more
After much research and tinkering I have finally managed to achieve a solution to this problem. Please accept my apologies for not posting links to the original references – there are many and I wasn’t taking notes – but this one was certainly useful. My solution uses a filtering XMLStreamWriter which applies an empty namespace … Read more
