Allows to represent any Java-provided data sources in the form similar to XML documents
(or described by W3C DOM) and
process them in a universal way using visually designed templates in order to generate
any kind of richly formatted hypertext or plain output documents in any format supported by
the current implementation of the technology.
The templates are functionally similar to
XSLT
scripts (but not the same). This allows to employ many powerful approaches and standards developed around
XML (and go beyond).
Provides a high quality graphical Template Designer for creating those templates.
The templates can be designed independently on a particular output format. The formatting specified
in templates will be rendered with the best features available in a selected output format.
The formatting support has been designed in a prospect of seamlessly adding
new output format implementations as well as enhancing the existing ones. This opens the door for constantly
improving the quality and diversity of the output generated by the same already created templates without
the need of their modification.
Data processing
Sophisticated capabilities for data querying based on XPath
The ability to traverse data sources with a network structure
(e.g. XML documents with the involvement of IDREF/IDREFS attributes)
Generating a common output documentation from multiple independent data sources (whose original concepts
of data representation may be radically different from each other).
Universal support for primary data types used in Java
Rendering of HTML tags
inserted within the text data (for instance, the HTML formatting used in Java source comments).
The output markup produced by such a rendering is smoothly integrated with that resulted from
the formatting directly specified in templates.
Integration capabilities
With any Java applications as a Java-class library
