Objective Systems Announces the Release of XBinder 1.2

XBinder(tm) is an XML data binding application that can generate C/C++ 
encoders/decoders from an XML schema specification.  Version 1.2 is a 
major new release of the product that adds the following capabilites 
over previous versions: 

- Use of a Pull-Parser for improved XML decoding.  XML C and C++ decoder 
  generation has been changed to use a custom pull-parser as the default 
  parser instead of a third-party SAX parser. This provides better 
  performance and provides a more logical model for data binding  
  applications.

- Improved handling of run-time type declarations (xsi:type).  The code 
  generation was updated to generate special structures for derived 
  types. This makes it possible to encode and decode XML elements 
  identified by xsi:type declarations.

- Capability to encode and decode to/from DOM.  An abstract DOM 
  interface has been added which makes it possible to encode/decode 
  to/from DOM instead of directly to XML.  This makes use of DOM 
  possible with XBinder for operations such as searching or generic 
  node manipulation.

- Addition of copy constructors and deep-copy for all C++ classes. 
  The C++ memory management interface has been greatly simplified 
  such that all assignments now cause a deep-copy of the data to be 
  done. 

- Improved custom type configuration.  The capability was added to 
  change the default C type that is mapped to a given XSD type.  For 
  example, it is possible to specify that a string be used to hold an 
  xsd:decimal type instead of a floating point variable.
