Schemas are a formalism to describe the structure
and content of a set of XML messages, aimed at
replacing DTDs.
Schemas are thus quite
similar to XMLBooster's own meta-definitions,
except for the fact that schemas only describe the XML
structures, not their mapping to a host data structure
as XMLBooster does.
XMLBooster includes a
Schema-to-metadefinition
translator, that can be used to build a meta-definition
from an existing schema.
This
Schema-to-metadefinition translator
does not cover the entire schema definition yet,
but as it is used to deal with more and more
production level schemas, it is improving continuously.
"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"
