[ANN] Candle 0.10 Beta Release - introducing a new object notation
Dear members of xml-dev list,

I'm glad to announce the 0.10 beta release of Candle. http://www.candlescript.org/ is an open-source (MPL) scripting language that unifies the core features of many XML-related technologies (including XSLT, XQuery, XQuery Update, RELAX NG, BNF, XHTML, SVG and more). It can be used to rapidly develop command-line, desktop and Internet applications.

This new release
introduces a new hierarchical http://www.candlescript.org/doc/candle-markup-reference.htm#namespace and adds support for a new http://www.candlescript.org/doc/candle-markup-reference.htm#object-notation. You can find out more details from the updated reference documents, as well as my 3 new blogs:
  • http://candleapp.blogspot.com/2011/11/who-needs-xml.html: I talked about the problems of XML as a general data-exchange format, especially when used for structured data.
  • http://candleapp.blogspot.com/2011/11/markup-notation-better-then-ever.html: I showed how Candle unifies XML markup data model with OOP object data model, and its advantages comparing to formats like XML, JSON, JavaFX literal object and YAML.
  • http://candleapp.blogspot.com/2011/11/examples-speak-for-themselves.html: I showed how Candle Markup can effectively express different kinds of structured data, like iCanlendar Record, SVG, MathML, DOT graph language, POV-Ray SDL, and Lua configuration.
Among the http://blog.jclark.com/2010/12/microxml.html suggested by Jams Clark: XML 2.0, XML.next, MicroXML, Candle Markup is definitely along the XML.next line. Whether there's any merit in it, I'd like to hear your comments.

Henry
