XMLBooster's DTD support

DTD's are a formalism to describe the structure and content of a set of XML messages. DTD's are thus quite similar to XMLBooster's own meta-definitions, except for the fact that DTD's only describe the XML structures, not their mapping to a host data structure as XMLBooster does.

XMLBooster includes both a DTD-to-metadefinition and a metadefinition-to-DTD translator.

When translating an XMLBooster meta-definition to an equivalent DTD, some of the information is lost, as the meta-definition formalism addresses issues such as data typing (integer, booleans, etc.) which DTD's don't support.

"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"
