Any XML & Poker Experts In Here?

[TomCollins]

I'm trying to put together a schema for Hand Histories. I know a little bit about XML, but have never made a schema before. Anyone in here know anything and want to help out some?

PM me or reply to this message if interested.

I spent a few hours drafting something like this when working with PokerGrader. And IMHO, you would be wasting a lot of time developing something that has no chance of being adopted.

This is an excellent tutorial. Happy to help with it, just post here if you get stuck.

Making an XML schema would be anything but a waste of time. Admitted, you won't get any sites to use it though.

I myself used an internal XML schema when i made a HH parser some time ago. I several plugins that simply read the sites HH and converted it to the uniformly XML format that i had specified. In that way my HH parser would only have to think about one format, and users could easily write plugins to support new formats.

This is the idea I had.

I can make a universal hand history reader, and if I want to read a new site, I just write a new plugin.

Plus, even if it just forces me to become much better at this, it would be great.

I really wish I had some programming skills, I mean I have had ideas for programs that no one else would ever use, but to me they were awesome ideas and I would use them a lot ya know. Plus if only you use the program, and no one else, and you improve just from programming it, thats great. Def. +ev
