AlotSoft showcases customized XML Processors for industry standard XML Schema, TXLife/XMLife, Acord's P&C, FIXML, FpML, MDDL, RIXML

December 24, 2004 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
AlotSoft (http://www.alotsoft.com), a web service integration solution
provider, is the first company that provides customized XML
parser/generator/validator/editor that conform to specific industry XML schema standards.

Historically, an application that uses XML data normally needs a GENERIC XML
parser. Apache, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. have developed a few generic XML
parsers that can parse any XML documents. XML parsing typically use DOM or SAX methods.

When dealing with XML message that conforms to complicated XML schema of industry strength,
like TXLife/XMLife, FIXML, FpML, Acord P&C, etc., XML parsing with generic XML parser
becomes non-trivial. Application developers need to write a lot of code to parse
through XML message and get/set data. If such XML parsing code is spread in a lot of
places, it turns a well written application code into a pile of spaghetti code.
Application also needs to validate the XML string with XML schema standard.

It takes a lot of time to write XML parsing code. It is a lot of efforts to validate
an XML schema with a complicated XML schema. It takes a lot of efforts to maintain
these code. When new XML schema comes up, your application developers have a tough
time updating all the hand-crafted XML parsing and validation code. It is a complete
new development/QA/production life cycle.

"Generic XML parsing for XML messages from industry XML schema standards is an art of
past." John Zhang, a partner at AlotSoft LLC (http://www.alotsoft.com) mentioned recently.
"AlotSoft(http://www.alotsoft.com)'s suite of customized XML Processors blow away
one of the roadblocks that slows down the adoption of industry XML schema standards."

AlotSoft (http://www.alotsoft.com) provides a suite of custom XML processors that
makes XML parsing, validation, generation and editing a breeze. Each
AlotSoft (http://www.alotsoft.com)'s custom XML processor contains the complete object
model of the specific industry XML schema. It is an object-oriented approach to XML
parsing and validation. The application code only deals with AlotSoft's object model.
To an application, Customized XML parsing and validation is just a single method call for each.
The XML parsing and validation implementation detail is transparent to application code.
With AlotSoft(http://www.alotsoft.com)'s customized XML processor, an application developer
never deal with XML parsing/validation again. An application developer just delegate
the task to AlotSoft's Customized XML processor. AlotSoft's XML processor will take care
of all the XML parsing/validation behind the scene and return a well construected XML
object to the application.

AlotSoft (http://www.alotsoft.com)'s customized XML Processor provides the following
benefits,

1. Significantly reduce the cost of adoption of new industry XML schema standards. There
are no XML parsing/validation code to write, to debug, to test, to maintain, and to upgrade.
2. Greatly shorten the time to production period. There is no new complexities and
complications involving new XML parsing/validation, etc.
3. Enable application developers to focus on what they know and do the best, their specific
business domain programming.

AlotSoft (http://www.alotsoft.com) provides the following customized XML processors,

FIXML Processor module
FpML Processor module
TXLife/XMLife Processor module
Acord P&C Processor module
MDDL Processor module
RIXML Processor module

AlotSoft (http://www.alotsoft.com) also provides XML web services integration framework
for the above mentioned XML schema standards. The customized XML processors are considered
components that a client can use even if they are using some other XML transport mechanism,
like MQ Series, or TCP/IP.
