Abstract

This paper presents XLOP (XML Language-Oriented Processing), an environment that permits the description of XML processing applications with attribute grammars (formalism used to describe the semantics of computer languages). The environment also includes a generator able to translate attribute grammar-based specifications into the specification language of CUP, a well-known YACC-like environment for writing language processors. The final goal of XLOP is to facilitate the development and maintenance of XML processing applications, whilst preserving the flexibility of general-purpose XML processing models. Also, since it is based on attribute grammars, XLOP provides a higher abstraction level than other similar translation scheme-based approaches.
