Generates a parser (to convert an XML input to
a valid Delphi data structure) as well as an unparser
(to convert the Delphi data structure back to an
XML stream).
Generates a convenient and strongly typed interface
to access the information parsed by XMLBooster. For
instance, since the Delphi collections do not support
strongly typed genericity, an ad hoc interface is generated
to ensure that all the types used by the system
are consistent.
Performs error recovery when dealing with a recoverable
error, and raises a Delphi exception in case of a
non-recoverable error.
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"
