Marshall

Archetypes content needs flexible representations for interacting with other systems. Marshall provides a pluggable system for getting and setting content, including a default XML system.

Current release
Marshall 0.6.1

Released Jan 26, 2006 — tested with Plone 2.1.2

Small fix to encoding of values. Only use a CDATA for field values that are text/html. Also, encode information about the field (filename, content_type) when relevant as attributes in the XML.
