[gdal-dev] support for Czech Exchange Format for Land Consolidation

[Martin Landa]

Hi all,

together with colleague of mine we are thinking to add support to GDAL
for the Czech Exchange Format of Land Consolidation. This format is
XML-based, but unfortunately not a GML. Here is a small sample (just
line segments):

  <zs>
    <plins>
      <plin typ="55">
        <lin>
          <segment xsi:type="v:se">
            <c x="1075053.92" y="591813.89" />
            <c x="1075055.75" y="591793.89" />
          </segment>
        </lin>
      </plin>
      <plin typ="55">
        <lin>
          <segment xsi:type="v:se">
            <c x="1075055.75" y="591793.89" />
            <c x="1075059.23" y="591777.01" />
          </segment>
        </lin>
      </plin>
      <plin typ="55">
        <lin>
          <segment xsi:type="v:se">
            <c x="1075059.23" y="591777.01" />
            <c x="1075058.48" y="591773.38" />
          </segment>
        </lin>
      </plin>
</zs>

I wonder if there is an easier way than to write a new GDAL driver
from the scratch (using XML parser similarly to GML driver)...

Thanks in advance for any idea! Martin
