Does anyone have a link to current information about how to work with XML with Squeak?

The package is apparently in
www.squeaksource.com/XMLSupport
other than that I have not used it.

The usual parser is Yaxo. Its pretty basic and easy to work with. Are you parsing or generating?

Yaxo is a SAX-like parser. So you can write your one SAX handler (more efficient) or use the provided DOM handler (simple). For the latter, an example is provided on the class side of XMLDOMParser.

Try the Squeak Swiki - search for YAXO.
The YAXO and XML article includes these useful examples of using the DOM parser.
======================================== Writing to a file called MyXml.xml
"Code below describes opening a stream and writer and associating the writer with XMLDocument"
doc := XMLDocument new. stream := FileStream fileNamed: 'MyXml.xml'. "speicifying the stream" writer := XMLWriter on:stream. "specifying the writer" writer initialize.
"Code below describes how you could write an xml element with a tag " elmt := XMLElement named: 'User' attributes: Dictionary new.
"adding the attribute tags and values to the " childElmt := XMLElement named: 'Name' attributes: Dictionary new. childElmt addContent: (XMLStringNode string: ('rao')). "adding a tag called Name with the value 'rao'" elmt addElement: childElmt.
doc addElement: elmt. doc printXMLOn: writer. stream close.
Reading from MyXml.xml f := FileStream fileNamed: 'xml.xml'. "opening a stream" doc := XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: f. f close. xmlUser := (doc elements) at: 1. "now you have the entire user data"
"readng the name" elmt := xmlUser firstTagNamed: #Name. userName := elmt contentString.
Notice how once you call the parseDocumentFrom: you don't need to have the stream open because XMLDOMParser builds tree right away from the given stream. =====================================
Hope this helps.
