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
Financial data to FpML
SQL to XML
XML to database
XML to flat file
EBCDIC file with packed-decimal fields to XML
Variable-length, blocked, spanned (VBS) records to XML
EBCDIC file to CSV file
EDIFACT to XML
Selected XML subtrees to XML, PDF, and HTML documents

The latest version of ServingXML requires Java 5.0 or later, and comes with Saxon-B 9 for XSLT 2 and XQuery implementations. ServingXML 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."
