Abstract
Modifying a partially parsed Extensible Markup Language (XML) document. A stop node in an XML document is marked using at least one stop XPath expression. The XML document is then parsed till the stop node identified by the at least one stop XPath expression. Modifications to the XML document are specified in a modification script, including at least one modification instruction. A modification instruction includes a context node XPath expression which identifies a context nodeset requiring modifications, and the actual modification content. Sequence of event tokens corresponding to the parsed XML document are then stored. Further, the XML document is modified according to the modification script.
