Hey, folks! We're opening the source of an XML infrastructure project, called gXML. We're looking to contribute the project to the Apache foundation, for incubation, and to do so we'd like to drum up more interest in the community. xml-dev seems the likely place to start. :-) We're looking for folks who are interested in building "bridges" and "processors," and who can argue about the integrity of the API, which is based on the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM). The code currently includes the API, three bridges (DOM, AxiOM, and custom) plus tools for building and testing bridges, and five processors (XPath, Conversion, Input/Output, Schema Parsing, Schema Validation). Work remains to be done on all of this code, and the documentation, and there are opportunities for bridges supporting additional tree models and additional processors. It requires Java 1.5, because it makes extensive use of generics in order to use the Bridge (or Handle/Body) pattern (rather than a wrapper). If a bridge exists for a tree model, a processor written to the gXML/XDM API can use that tree model. The core emphasizes immutability in processing. By introducing the (very thin!) layer of indirection in the form of a bridge, it enables a number of new technologies, and opens a lot of potentially exciting possibilities for existing technologies. Interested? We'll be at Balisage in August. Interested in being involved with the code, and want more information? Drop a line .... Amy! -- Amelia A.
