Subject: [relax-ng] [ANN] RelaxNGCC Ver.1.0
I am pleased to announce a new version of RelaxNGCC, a compiler compiler for XML by using RELAX NG. RelaxNGCC allows you to quickly write a code to read XML documents into your application-specific data structure or to process them in a stream fashion. IOW, RelaxNGCC is a data-binding tool specialized to read XML documents. The tool is available under the GPL at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/relaxngcc/ Code generated by RelaxNGCC is all yours and we don't place any restriction on how it's going to be used. The documents are available at: http://relaxngcc.sourceforge.net/workspace/relaxngcc/htdocs/en/index.htm Let me explain a bit about how RelaxNGCC is useful. Writing code to parse XML into an application-specific object model is a pain in the neck, especially with SAX. This is why a lot of people use DOM. But DOM is not quite a solution. You lose all the source location information, pays a performance penalty, and worst of all, you still need to work with untyped bare tree. That reminds me of old days when we've processed files as a byte stream. RelaxNGCC solves these problems. It solves these problems in a way very much like how yacc/bison/JavaCC/ANTLR solves those problem for arbitrary file format. With those compiler-compilers, you write a grammar in the context free grammar, you add your code, and the compiler turns them into an efficient parser. With RelaxNGCC, you write a grammar in RELAX NG, you add your code, and the compiler turns them into an efficient ContentHandler that processes SAX events. Enjoy, and let us know how you think of it. regards, ---------------------- Kohsuke Kawaguchi E-Mail: kk@kohsuke.org
