Dialect differences

HTML is a file format and FoxPro is a database server, so the target has to be told the types the file never carried – the rows below are where the two sides diverge.

Propertyin HTMLin FoxPro
port—(file-based)
identifiersAttribute values in quotes; entities for reserved characters—
row limit—(driver dependent)
datesWhatever text was renderedDate (D)
long text—Memo (M)
binarydata: URIs inside src attributesGeneral (G)
separatorTags, not delimiters—
encodingDeclared in a meta charset tag or the HTTP header—
typingNone—
shapeFree form; tables are row/column structures inside markupTables of rows and columns
ceilingNo formal limit—

No counterpart

  • HTML values of kind Date and time have nowhere to go in FoxPro.
  • HTML values of kind JSON have nowhere to go in FoxPro.
