XML Plug-in for Omnis Studio and mvDesigner

Raining Data is pleased to announce the release of the oXML plug-in for the Omnis Studio and mvDesigner application development products.

XML is becoming the standard format for data storage and information exchange across the whole eBusiness landscape. XML has already revolutionized several business sectors, including content management, information publishing, and news syndication, and its adoption looks set to continue throughout all areas of business, academic, and scientific computing.

The Document Object Model (DOM) is an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows you to build XML and HTML documents, navigate their structure, and add, modify, or delete elements and content. The oXML plug-in implements the DOM Level 1 API to access XML documents as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium on their Web site at www.w3.org.

oXML adds the ability to parse and extract information from an XML document and to generate new XML documents using a standard set of methods provided by the DOM API.

The oXML component also allows you to display an XML document in the Omnis tree list (as shown), which is well suited to displaying the hierarchical structure contained in XML documents. The component offers additional methods for quickly converting an XML document to and from an Omnis List variable. Developers using Omnis Studio and mvDesigner will find this component a powerful addition to their tool set.

oXML is available now for Omnis Studio version 3.1 and higher. Omnis Studio is currently available for Windows, Mac OS, Solaris and Linux systems. The plug-in is available for all supported platforms.

The oXML plug-in will be available for mvDesigner with the release of mvDesigner version 2.0. mvDesigner is currently available on Windows and Linux systems.
