The HCRC Language Technology Group is pleased to announce a new release of LT XML, the first high-performance publicly available XML toolset written in C. For further information and access to the software distribution, see http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/xml/ The LT XML tool-kit includes stand-alone tools for a wide range of processing of well-formed XML documents, including searching and extracting, down-translation (e.g. report generation, formatting), tokenising and sorting. If you've been waiting for high throughput XML tools with simple command-line interfaces to explore the potential of XML, LT XML is just what you need to get started. Basic throughput is under 3 seconds/megabyte on a Pentium 133, fast enough to make processing substantial XML datasets feasible. LT XML is an integrated set of XML tools and a developers' tool-kit, including a C-based API. As well as sources, this release includes executable images for a range of platforms, including Windows 95 and Windows NT, FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris. A preliminary partial Macintosh version is also available. This release is restricted to 8-bit character input/output, and does NOT do validation, although it does process and make use of DTDs in documents which include them. Sequences of LT XML tool applications can be pipelined together to achieve complex results. Tools included in this release include: * sggrep -- extract sub-parts of XML documents, using patterns over element structure and text content; * textonly -- extract text content only; * sgsort -- reorder sub-elements within specified elements * sgmltrans -- pattern+action downtranslation tool * sgrpg -- Structure-based transformation tool * simple, simpleq -- event- and fragment-based examples of API use For special purposes beyond what the pre-constructed tools can achieve, extending their functionality and/or creating new tools is easy using the LT XML API, which provides both event-oriented and tree-fragment oriented access to the input document stream. Minimal applications require less than one-half page of C code to express. LT XML is available to anyone free of charge for non-commercial purposes. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
