IMPORT XML SCHEMA OR SAMPLE DOCUMENT OR USE THE POWERFUL VISUAL XML DOCUMENT DESIGNER

Harness the power of visual XML document design and manipulation

Creating and manipulating XML document structure is a snap with the powerful visual designer of XML Thunder™. The easy to use, intuitive user interface allows developers to concentrate on working with the XML document structure and frees them up from the tedious task of having to define program level storage to accommodate the XML document.

Import XML schema or sample XML document

Point, click and import - it's that easy! As an alternative to designing your XML structure, you can import a desired XML schema or sample XML document and then quickly map the XML nodes to the COBOL or C data structure elements. Improve productivity with XML Thunder™!

XML Thunder™ can be used to design and generate two distinct types of XML handling program code, XML Writers and XML Readers. An XML Writer is a subprogram that uses data passed to it to create an XML document and writes it to a data buffer. Conversely, an XML Reader is a subprogram that parses XML data passed to it in a buffer and populates the corresponding program data structures.

Visual mapping resulting in appropriate program code generation

Use the map/unmap functionality of XML Thunder™ to easily create attribute to XML element mapping. While an XML Reader allows each attribute to have one mapped XML element, an XML Writer can have each of its attributes mapped to more than one XML node.
Visual clues are provided to easily identify already mapped XML elements and attributes and when an attribute is selected the corresponding mapped XML elements/attributes will be highlighted.

Use XML Thunder™ to generate XML Writers and XML readers that will run on any platform that supports COBOL or C. It is a must have for all professional developers working with XML documents in COBOL or C language environments.

Let XML Thunder™ generate XML handling COBOL or C program code so you can focus on solving
your business logic to build better quality XML applications - FASTER!
