XEBRA: The Design and Implementation of Integrated Programming Environment for XML Processing and Browsing

ABSTRACT We present the design and implementation of XEBRA sys - tem XEBRA is an integrated programming environment for XML processing and browsing on which users can build their own XML processing applications XEBRA has a lisp interpreter as its main control system The lisp inter - preter provides programming interface for users It also provides XML manipulation routines and data structures devoted to XML We designed the XEBRA architecture to be extensible by modules We implemented some modules which have functionalities for XML and web related com - mon technologies such as XSLT, XSL - FO, HTTP and CSS to XML conversion Users may build customized programs by combining functionalities provided by these modules Finally, we show an HTML browser as an example appli - cation of the system We demonstrate that this browser shows potential of our system and its design
