XEBRA: The Design and Implementation of Integrated Programming Environment for XML Processing and Browsing

We present the design and implementation of XEBRA system. XEBRA is an integrated programming environment for XML processing and browsing on which users can build their own XML processing applications. XEBRA has a lisp interpreter as its main control system. The lisp interpreter provides programming interface for users. It also provides XML manipulation routines and data structures devoted to XML. We designed the XEBRA architecture to be extensible by modules. We implemented some modules which have functionalities for XML and web related common technologies such as XSLT, XSL-FO, HTTP and CSS to XML conversion. Users may build customized programs by combining functionalities provided by these modules. Finally, we show an HTML browser as an example application of the system. We demonstrate that this browser shows potential of our system and its design. Keywords browsers and tools; language; XML; XSLT; XSL Formatting Object
