Subject: Re: RE: RE: [ubl-dev] infinite loop


I did a search on "ubl api" brings up many APIs for UBL.
Maybe it is best for developers to use these if they are averse to complex XML.
If you are writing such tools then the complexity might just be your friend if it means people will pay for the resulting API.
If the API is not enough to help developers then maybe the answer, as with EDI before, is to hire a contractor or consultant.
I think it is easier to become a specialist for doing UBL than one for EDI these days since XML is a widely used skillset and widely taught and supported with tools.

It seems indisputable that in a context of developers programming with XML, even if using a ready made API that handles UBL well (maybe we should use this list to recommend some), UBL is not for XML novices. But then, IMO, neither is CAM, Schematron, or TAML... Just as EDI was beyond the reach of most VB programmers 10 years ago. Just as most programmers have always found working with pointers, threads, etc a little beyond them. Doesn't mean they aren't important and widely used or that pointers ever put mere VB programmers out of a job.
