DocFlex/XML
-
Version
1.0
DocFlex/XML is a powerful template-driven
docs/reports generator by the data obtained from XML
files. The templates are created using a graphic
Template Designer basing on the data type info loaded
from DTD or XML Schema files. The professional
quality output documents can be generated in RTF and
HTML (single and multi-framed) formats. The TXT
output is supported as well, which enables you to use
this tool also for various XML transformations.
In effect, the system behaves similar to XSL
Transformations: the templates are equivalent of XSLT
scripts; the DocFlex generator is an equivalent of
XSL processor. The advantage is that now, you don't
need actually to code any scripts! Almost everything
can be visually programmed in the WYSIWYG form simply
by using mouse and specifying properties in the
designer dialogs plus the ability to immediately see
the produced result.
Lot of features are supported for the real project
development, which include:
(*) Generating a single doc from multiple XML files
with different structure.
(*) Full support for XML namespaces.
(*) Sophisticated data querying and sorting
capabilities based on an extension of XPath.
(*) Inserting images (both statically and
dynamically).
(*) Creating a common network of hyperlinks; loading
several frames by a single hyperlink.
(*) Calling templates from one another.
(*) Elaborated support of template parameters.
(*) The ability to reuse the same templates for
different tasks and organize template libraries,
which may help you to shorten the project development
time and simplify further updates and maintenance.
(*) The open Java API allows to launch the DocFlex
generator directly from your Java code, pass template
parameters as well as to extend your templates with
the custom written Java classes.
(*) The freeware template interpreter and output
generator (together with the run-time Java library)
available for free use and redistribution both
separately and as part of your applications.
