The HCRC Language Technology Group are pleased to announce the availability of version 1.1 of LT XML. As well as numerous bug fixes and improvements compared with version 1.0, this release includes optional validation of XML documents. Various changes have been mode for thread-safety but these are still untested.
LT XML is both a set of command-line/console XML applications and a C language library supporting a powerful API for new application development. It is available free for evaluation and non-commercial use. For an overview and information about licences, including licences for commercial use, see:
http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/xml/.
The v1.1 release comes in two versions:
A source version for Unix platforms, with straight-forward compilation and installation procedures;
A source plus DLLs and executables version for WIN32 platforms.
Both versions include extensive documentation of the tools and the API, together with detailed examples of how to build your own application using the API.
The functionality of the tools in this release includes:
- Text extraction
- Powerful markup-aware 'grep' (search)
- Down-translation
- Tokenisation
- Sorting
- Transclusion using a subset of XML-link
The API allows applications to choose, or even switch, between an event-oriented and a tree-oriented view of XML documents.
