[ANN] RefleX 0.3.0 is out !

RefleX is the crème de la crème for processing XML with XSLT, XQuery, on 
the Web, on the command line interface, for hosting tag libraries, and 
for handling non-XML objects like if they were XML !
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/

===> RefleX consider most of the things to handle as XML :
-you have a directory ? apply the XPath expression //* on it and you'll 
get the files under the subtree ; and it works on local and remote file 
systems, and even on zip, tar, jar files etc
-you have an SQL query ? map it to an arbitrary complex XML structure : 
you can also use XPath to browse the SQL result

===> RefleX can query native XML databases such as eXist with XQuery, 
apply XSLT stylesheets, and choose the parsing style (DOM or SAX) almost 
transparently : it is straightforward to "cast" a DOM document to a SAX 
document or the opposite, and merging a set of DOM fragments into a 
single SAX document can be done with very few tags ; active tags can be 
mixed with litteral tags like in XSLT

===> RefleX will help you to build test suites for applications that are 
dealing with XML datas (even if your application is not a RefleX 
application) ; this is the job of XUnit, which is itself a RefleX 
application (made 100% with tags)

===> RefleX offers means to implement easily processing-purpose XML 
languages   ; additionally, some core concepts can be considered at 
design-time to enhance the expressiveness of your own declarative 
languages ; binding an active tag to its implementation is trivial, and 
custom tags can also be made with macros tags

===> RefleX is available freely and you'll find lots of tips and 
tutorial in the documentation ; the learning curve is not steep for 
people that know XSLT and XPath since the basic concepts are very 
similar : you mix active tags with litterals, and the documents are 
XPath-centric, but instead of having a single instruction set (this is 
the case in XSLT), you'll have several ones

Still writing thousands lines of code ? Use a dozen of tags instead, use 
RefleX !
