XSD/e 1.0.0

XSD/e is a XML Processing for Embedded Systems.
CodeSynthesis XSD/e is an open-source XML parser generator for mobile and embedded systems. It provides event-driven, stream-oriented XML parsing, XML Schema validation, and C++ data binding while maintaining a small footprint and portability.
XSD/e implements Embedded C++/Parser mapping which, provided with an XML instance specification (XML Schema), generates validating C++ parser skeletons for data types defined in your vocabulary. You can then implement these parser skeletons to build your own in-memory representation or perform immediate processing as parts of your XML document become available. For an introduction to the C++/Parser mapping, refer to the Hello World Parser chapter from the Getting Started Guide.
Based on the static analysis of the schemas, XSD/e generates compact, highly-optimized hierarchical state machines that combine data extraction, validation, and even dispatching in a single step. As a result, the XSD/e-generated parsers are 2-10 times faster than general-purpose validating XML parsers while maintaining the lowest static and dynamic memory footprints. For example, a validating parser executable can be as small as 120KB in size.
Main features:
- Ease of use The parser skeletons maintain parsing state and do data extraction for you. As a result, you are shielded from the intricacies of parsing XML.
- Validation The parser skeletons provide low-footprint, high-performance XML Schema validation so you dont need to complicate your code with extra error checking.
- Natural representation Handle the XML data using your domain vocabulary instead of generic elements, attributes, and text.
- Static typing The generated parser skeletons are statically typed which helps catch errors at compile-time rather than at run-time. For example, XML element and attribute names become C++ function names so if you misspelled one, the compiler will let you know.
- Concise code Thanks to the object representation provided by parser skeletons, your business logic implementation is simpler and thus easier to read and understand.
- Maintainability Automatic code generation minimizes the effort needed to adapt your application to changes in the document structure. Thanks to static typing, the C++ compiler will pin-point the places in your code that need to be changed.
Enhancements:
- Supported embedded toolchains include GNU g++ 2.95.x-4.x.x, eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, and Visual Studio 2005 with Smart Devices support.
- Precompiled binary distributions are available for GNU/Linux, Solaris, and Windows host development platforms.
