Actually, a program which created an efficient
program to convert XML conforming to a specific
DTD to another product would be a very cool
invention, very different from using Perl
and/or Omnimark.
I have Omnimark programs which take a great
deal of processing power (I'd hate to see the
Perl equivalent). Cutting it in half with a
program that generated a program would be
very cool indeed. What kind of 'efficiencies'
do you get when you remove the interpreted layer?
I'm reading this that you are more or less
doing a YACC thing? Is this a correct
interpretation? Will it do SGML?
(I guess I can run it through nsgmls
to make the XML equivalent first.)
Is it open source? Hopefully it
will generate C code (for speed).
