| Markup for Flat-XML Processing
|  | ## What is ServingXML? ServingXML is an open source, Apache 2.0 licensed, framework for flat/XML data transformations. It defines an extensible markup vocabulary for expressing flat-XML, XML-flat, flat-flat, and XML-XML processing in pipelines. ServingXML comes with a console app, and also documents an API for embedding the software in a standard Java or J2EE application. Have a look at the examples. Here you'll see examples of Flat file to XML Financial data to FpML SQL to XML XML to database XML to flat file EBCDIC file with packed-decimal fields to XML Variable-length, blocked, spanned (VBS) records to XML EBCDIC file to CSV file EDIFACT to XML Selected XML subtrees to XML, PDF, and HTML documents The latest version of ServingXML requires Java 5.0 or later, and comes with Saxon-B 9 for XSLT 2 and XQuery implementations. ServingXML may be configured with a different JAXP compatible XSLT engine, version 1 or 2, if desired.
