RefleX 0.2.0 is out !
and Better Than Ever
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/
-This new release introduces *XUnit*, a tool that helps to design
test-suites for programs that are dealing with XML datas. I'll made a
separate post to present XUnit...
-One of the most outstanding new feature is the ability to *filter SAX
streams with XPath patterns* ; you'll find in the tutorial section a
runnable example where a 15Mo file is connected to a SAX pipeline with a
rule-based filter...
-*XInclude and the XPointer framework* are also supported. You can also
XMLize raw text with a tokenizer or once again thanks to XPath patterns
(have a look at the tutorials).
-I also started to write tiny Active Tags applications related to
XML-oriented Programming : some use cases taken from W3C's "XML
Processing Model Requirements and Use Cases"
(http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/langreq.html) intend to proove the
viability of the engine for various tasks.
-There are also new ideas such as using XML catalogs as a support for
resources management ; in RefleX, all the resources expected by the
engine are declared in Active Catalogs, and custom libraries can be
declared as-well easily.
-You'll still find in RefleX some means to define semantic data types
and Active Schemata, that is to say schemata that have their content
models dynamic, not static. 2 examples are available in the tutorial
section : they demonstrate that what you can't express with W3C XML
Schema nor RelaX NG can be achieved with Active Schema.
-You can meet me at *<XML 2006>* in Boston, from 5-7 December 2006,
where I will speak about RefleX and Active Tags.
Enjoy !
