Codalogic XML C++ Binding Uses

Easily read and write XML data via custom C++ classes generated by Codalogic LMX.

Codalogic LMX is a code generator that generates custom C++ code that mirrors the structure of your XML data. You can describe the structure of your XML to Codalogic LMX using W3C XML schema, or an example of your XML instance.

This allows you to read and write XML data like: 

    <Name>Codalogic LMX</Name>
    <Quantity>1</Quantity>

with C++ code like: 

    std::cout << myObject.GetName() << ": " <<
                 myObject.GetQuantity() << "\n";

and: 

    myObject.SetQuantity( 1 );
    myObject.SetName( L"Codalogic LMX" );

This approach significantly reduces the amount of code you have to write, and also allows for extensive compile-time checking of variables names to make sure you don't accidentally add any hard to find bugs due to typos. It also makes sure that the structure of your XML data is correct, for example, avoiding child elements being placed under the wrong parent.


Some of the benefits of using Codalogic LMX™ XML to C++ databinding include:
  • Easy to learn
    • The output is regular C++ - No need to learn additional libraries and complex DOM / XPath syntax.
    • Simple to build your project - A minimal number of source files are used so that you don't need to spend time managing builds and have less chance of build errors.
  • Easy coding
    • No programming of tedious state code as required with SAX (and StAX) - LMX does all that in a couple of seconds (or less!) - Saves you doing boring programming tasks and avoids accidental cut and paste style errors.
    • Generated documentation aimed at helping code development is included in the generated C++ .h file - Code development can be sped up by copying and pasting key constants and method names into your code.
    • The View Prototypes mode in the Win32 GUI version allows drag-and-drop of method names and key constants directly into your code.
    • Generates cross-linked HTML documenting your generated code - Further aids code writing.
  • Cross-platform
    • LMX is available in a Microsoft Windows® GUI version, a DOS command-line version and a Linux command-line version. The generated code is cross-platform and can be compiled with any standard compliant C++ compiler.
  • Less time chasing bugs
    • The names of variables are checked at compile time rather than run time - Simple typos in names are detected automatically and early - Less chance for latent bugs to be lurking in your deployed code. (Also allows operation with IntelliSense.)
    • Resource management (such as memory) is taken care of - less chance for accidental memory leaks etc.

In short, LMX saves you time writing code and effort debugging. As a result, LMX not only saves you money, but also allows you to improve your product by giving you more time to implement higher value, customer thrilling features.

The Windows® interface version makes it even easier to generate C++ code. Simply select your XML schema file(s), the output file root for the C++ / HTML files, and press the compile button!
