RE: ANN: Tutorial on parsing and unparsing data formats using DFDL(Data Format Description Language)

Hi Matthieu,

 

  • Maybe this could be interesting as plugin to the new XPROC 3.0 process aiming at opening data flow to non-XML documents ?

 

Yes!

 

In fact, such a plug-in already exists. It is called Calabash. I personally have written a number of XProc pipelines that involve using Calabash to convert a non-XML file into XML and then process the XML via a pipeline.

 

Here’s the URL for more information on Calabash:

Really impressive!

The schema driven nonagnostic approach is quite interesting.

 

Maybe this could be interesting as plugin to the new XPROC 3.0 process aiming at opening data flow to non-xml documents ?

Hi Folks,

 

DFDL is a standards-based XML language for parsing data formats, both text and binary formats.

 

Using DFDL you can parse just about anything!

 

The output of parsing is an XML (or JSON) document, representing the input file.

 

 

Not only can DFDL parse data files, it can also unparse the XML (or JSON) to reconstitute the original data format.

 

Example: JPEG --> DFDL --> XML --> DFDL --> JPEG

 

DFDL is awesome! I created a bunch of tutorials about it and how to use it:
