* Package name : cduce Version : 0.3.1 Upstream Author : Alain Frisch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cduce.org * License : MIT-like license Description : Programming language adapted to the manipulation of XML data CDuce is a modern programming language adapted to the manipulation of XML documents. . Some of CDuce peculiar features: - XML objects can be manipulated as first-class citizen values: elements, sequences, tags, characters and strings, attribute sets; sequences of XML elements can be specified by regular expressions, which also apply to characters strings; - functions themselves are first-class values, they can be manipulated, stored in data structure, returned by a function,...; - a powerful pattern matching operation can perform complex extractions from sequences of XML elements; - a rich type algebra, with recursive types and arbitrary boolean combinations (union, intersection, complement) allows precise definitions of data structures and XML types; general purpose types and types constructors are taken seriously (products, extensible records, arbitrary precision integers with interval constraints, Unicode characters); - polymorphism through a natural notion of subtyping, and overloaded functions with dynamic dispatch; - an highly-effective type-driven compilation schema . CDuce is fast, functional, type-safe, and conforms to basic standards: Unicode, XML, DTD, Namespaces are fully supported, partial support of XML Schema validation is in alpha testing (and undocumented) while queries are being implemented. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=fr_FR, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
