What is ServingXML?

ServingXML is an open source, Apache 2.0 licensed, framework for flat/XML data transformations. It defines an extensible markup vocabulary for expressing flat-XML, XML-flat, flat-flat, and XML-XML processing in pipelines. ServingXML comes with a console app, and also documents an API for embedding the software in a standard Java or J2EE application.

Have a look at the examples. Here you'll see examples of

Flat file to XML
EBCDIC file with packed-decimal fields to XML
SQL to XML
XML to database
EBCDIC file to CSV file
XML to flat file
Sequence of XML subtrees to PDF and HTML documents

The latest version of ServingXML requires Java 5.0 or later, and comes with Saxon-B 9 for an XSLT 2 and an XQuery implementation. The last version that is compatible with Java 1.4.2 is version 0.7.2*, which comes with Saxon 6-5-5 for an XSLT 1 implementation. Either version may be configured with a different JAXP compatible XSLT engine, version 1 or 2, if desired.

Testimonials

"We have struggled with arbitrary data file and XML transformation for a long time. After we found ServingXML, we know that this won't be a bothering problem anymore."
