Hi,

I am using GNU Common Lisp and I was wondering if there is a XML
Library that can parse
XML files into a list like structure and vice-versa (i.e. write a list
like structure back as XML
file).

Thanks,

N.

Here are some places to start:

  <http://www.cl-user.net/asp/tags/XML>
  <http://www.cliki.net/XML>

You'll find lots of libraries that'll work with the most popular
Common Lisp implementations.  GCL is not one of them, though.  If you
don't have a specific reason to stick with it, you might want to
switch to, say, SBCL, CMUCL, CLISP, OpenMCL, LispWorks, or AllegroCL.

Isn't GCL and CLISP the same?

I downloaded the LISP from http://clisp.cons.org/ and that directs you
to
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/ which is the GNU website.

The version I have is made by Bruno Haible and Sam Steingold.

They are both GNU programs, but they're not the same.

clisp has an interpreter and a bytecode compiler + a virtual machine.

gcl has a compiler to C source and use gcc as backend compiler to
generate native code.
