Abstract

This article presents XML-based tools for parser generation and data binding generation. The underlying concept is that of transformation between formal languages, which is a form of meta-programming. We discuss the benefits of such a declarative approach with well-defined semantics: productivity, maintainability, verifiability, performance and safety.
