Description : Programming language adapted to the manipulation of XML data
CDuce is a modern programming language adapted to the manipulation of
XML documents.
.
Some of CDuce peculiar features:
- XML objects can be manipulated as first-class citizen values:
elements, sequences, tags, characters and strings, attribute sets;
sequences of XML elements can be specified by regular expressions,
which also apply to characters strings;
- functions themselves are first-class values, they can be
manipulated, stored in data structure, returned by a function,...;
- a powerful pattern matching operation can perform complex
extractions from sequences of XML elements;
- a rich type algebra, with recursive types and arbitrary boolean
combinations (union, intersection, complement) allows precise
definitions of data structures and XML types; general purpose
types and types constructors are taken seriously (products,
extensible records, arbitrary precision integers with interval
constraints, Unicode characters);
- polymorphism through a natural notion of subtyping, and overloaded
functions with dynamic dispatch; - an highly-effective type-driven
compilation schema
.
CDuce is fast, functional, type-safe, and conforms to basic
standards: Unicode, XML, DTD, Namespaces are fully supported, partial
support of XML Schema validation is in alpha testing (and
undocumented) while queries are being implemented.
