XMLBooster's C# Code generator

The C# code generator included in XMLBooster to handle efficient parsing/unparsing. Its features are :

Generates a validating parser (to convert an XML input to a valid C# data structure) as well as an unparser (to convert the C# data structure back to an XML stream).
Generates standard C# code, that can be compiled on the .NET platform.
Generates a convenient and strongly typed interface to access the information parsed by XMLBooster.
XML enumerated values are converted to C# enumerated values, thereby reducing the impedance mismatch considerably.
The generated code is documented in ndoc format, so that the API can be easily navigated using existing tools.
Uses user-defined classes for collections and strings. By default, XMLBooster uses classes provided by the standard C# library.
Inheritance in terms of elements is mapped onto equivalent inheritance relationships for the corresponding generated classes.
All instances are created through calls to a user-redefinable factory, so that subclassing can be used to add behaviour to the objects that are created as part of the parse tree.
Fully supports regular expressions: a data element can be attached to a regular expression, which will be used to validate the data fetched from the incoming XML message at parse time.

"We use XMLBooster as a fast prototyping tool. The data model is turned into a working GUI in less than a minute, and the final user can validate the resulting application and provide feedback instantly."

Laurent R., Financial markets, France

"Using these strongly typed interface is so productive when compared with DOM parsers, I can't believe anyone still contemplates Xerxes for serious work."

John F., Financial markets, Canada

"The scripting facility has allowed us to automate the entire compilation chain, from schemas to optimized parsers."

Michel M., Insurance, France

"We now generate GUIs for every XML schema we have, just in case."

Nicholas P., System integration, USA

"XMLBooster-generated GUI's have slashed our development times. And they can be customized to better suit the needs and tastes of our customers. A great product!"

Chris C., Document management, USA

"It works like magic. I just don't have to worry about the XML issue any longer, I can concentrate on my application"

John W., System integrator, Netherlands

"XMLBooster is so fast, it solved all our performance problems"

Alain de N., Belgium

"As far as I know, XMLBooster is the only decent solution to integrate XML in COBOL applications"
