Bug#210198: RFA: axkit -- An XML Application Server for Apache
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-09-09
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the axkit package.
The package description is:
AxKit is an XML Application Server for Apache. It provides
on-the-fly conversion from XML to any format, such as HTML, WAP or
text using either W3C standard techniques, or flexible custom code.
AxKit also uses a built-in Perl interpreter to provide some amazingly
powerful techniques for XML transformation.
.
The emphasis with AxKit is on separation of content from
presentation. The pipelining technique that AxKit uses allows
content to be converted to a presentable format in stages, allowing
certain platforms to see data differently to others. AxKit allows
web designers to focus on web site design, content developers to work
on a purely content basis, and webmasters to focus on their core
competencies.
.
AxKit is based on plugin components. This allows the web site
developer to create a completely custom XML Application Server based
around the AxKit API. AxKit can either automatically provide caching
facilities, or you can create your own cache handler, so that XML
transformations (which can be time consuming) only happen when
required.
.
The toolkit also provides ability to build component based web sites,
and dynamic content. Database integration is fully supported,
allowing either deliver of XML from a database, or XML generation
from a database query. Dynamic web components can be built using the
Perl language, making the possibilities as infinite as CGI scripts,
without the potential mess that CGI programming can cause.
