The of Native XML Programming.
Welcome in the world of ! uses XML tags as actions to perform. is a general-purpose that allows to write Web applications as well as batch scripts just with tags, to browse non-XML objects like if they were XML with XPath, and much more.
Overview
is a Java engine that can run , that is to say XML scripts where XML tags stand for instructions to process or for litterals, and where XPath expressions are intensively used for handling various objects. can be imperative, purely declarative, but they can also mix both styles !
is a powerful tool that integrates XML technologies with other non-XML technologies, according to the specifications. also implements many optional modules.
provides a command line interface, a servlet, but can also be embedded as is in a host application.
If you already know XML, XPath and XSLT, you're ready to start !
With , you will be able to :
- submit XQuery queries to native XML databases
- build efficient XML pipelines
- filter SAX streams with XPath patterns
- publish with XSLT in batch mode or dynamically within a Web application
- browse various file systems with XPath
- map arbitrary complex SQL queries to XML
- make MVC applications made 100% with tags
- query and aggregate various data sources such as XML databases or LDAP repositories
- design dynamic content models in your XML schemata
- create semantic XML data types
- plug to the engine your own tag libraries
- define macro-tags in your custom libraries
- implement declarative-oriented markup languages
- unmarshal tags to dynamic pluggable components
- mix declarative-oriented languages with imperative instructions
- manage efficiently your resources with XML catalogs
- test your applications with the framework
- check the kinematics of your Web applications with the framework
- etc
You will be surprised that coding with active tags is much more shorter than with your favorite programming language, despite the intrinsic verbosity of XML !
