Supporting pugixml through xeus-cpp-lite

[anutosh491]

Hey @zeux

Here's something you might like. Now users can run pugixml code in the form of a REPL completely in the browser and can skip any setup required.

Some context:

Xeus-cpp-lite is Xeus-cpp + JupyterLite

Xeus-cpp is a jupyter kernel for writing C++ code and uses the clang-repl interpreter by LLVM

JupyterLite is a JupyterLab distribution that runs entirely in the browser built from the ground-up using JupyterLab components and extensions.

I maintain both these repos and we also use pugixml quite a bit for xeus-cpp.

That being said, Xeus-cpp-lite enables running C++ completely in the browser (no setup needed) and hence we also support running pugixml along with it.

Some examples

Here's trying something similar to what's in the readme

1. Create the xgconsole.xml file that is added to the file system on the right
2. Make use of it through laoding

Basically what I am trying to convey is that as a part of running C++ completely in the browser, we also support running pugixml (hopefully completely)

please play around with it here on our static link. We have hosted xeus-cpp-lite here (https://compiler-research.org/xeus-cpp/lab/index.html) ... we currently support c++20

Hopefully there shouldn't be any issues. But if you find some. Please report them here https://github.com/compiler-research/xeus-cpp/issues

Maybe you can also add a link for anyone interested to try it out as a part of the readme, if you think stuff works as expected :)

Thank you !

I'm glad pugixml works for you :)

Hey there,

Thanks for the reply. I realized that pugixml works pretty well and hence thought of getting back here :)

Was happy that now we can get pugixml running

1. completely in the browser
2. and in a REPL (read evaluate print loop) format.

Hence I thought it might be interesting as in y'all would like to host an example notebook on your docs/readme where users can come and try out pugixml live maybe how numpy/sympy do it

Check https://numpy.org/ to see how they provide an interactive shell for users/contributors to play around with.

Let me know if you would like to try something like that out !
