CapeSoft xFiles is a collection of classes for hand-coders.
It provides the following functionality:
- Reading
and writing XML files directly to and from Groups and Queues
and Files (TPS, or any other backend).
- Fast reading and writing of
XML files to and from Clarion data structure with no significant
overhead for the XML - files are read from disk and written to disk
at the speed at which a binary file can be read or written.
- Support for creating RSS feeds
- Automatic encoding of binary data, BLOB and
MEMOs in XML. Automatic addition of CDATA tags when needed.
- XML support for nested queues and groups within
queues, groups and files (Clarion 6 and above)
- XML support for fields with multiple dimension
(Clarion 6 and above)
- Create XML in memory from queues, groups and
files, or populate a queue, group or file from a string in memory
that contains the XML.
- Use xFilesXML to load and save all program
settings in on go using the Load and Save methods.
- xFileSettings class replaces storing settings
in INI files with XML files, using Get and Put and the same syntax
as is used for INI files.
- Reading
and Writing binary (and text) files to and from disk. Includes
dynamic memory allocation for loading any size file into memory (as
a string).
- Supports automatic ZIP and UNZIP compression when reading and writing files
(including XML files).
- Very high precision timers using the
xFileFastTimer class. Uses 64bit precision for accurate, high
resolutions timers.
- xFilesExplode supports decompressing files
compressed with the proprietary Implode algorithm.
We wrote xFiles a number of years ago, and it provided fast XML functionality, which we used in
a number of our products (CapeSoft Email Server &
CapeSoft Mailer).
It worked so well, that we decided others would benefit from using it too.
Note:
xFiles is for hand coders. This means you will need to call the xFiles methods within
your code, for example self.Init(), self.Load() and self.Save(). This accessory is not purely template
driven and requires hand-coding to operate.
One of the
best things about xFiles is that is it really, really fast
(yeah, really, you will be surprised just how fast
it is!). This means that it outperforms other XML toolkits (for example the Microsoft SAX toolkit).
- Writes a Queue or Group to an XML file simply by calling the self.Save()
method.
- Reads an XML file into a data structure (Queue or Group) by calling the self.Load() method.
- Reads and Writes XML files fast and reliably.
- No knowledge of XML is required.
- The xFileXML class also allows application settings (for example global application settings stored in a global group) to be stored
in XML files.
- Alternatively the xFileSetting class can be used to replace settings that you would previously have stored in INI files.
This class uses XML files for ultra fast, reliable storage of settings.
- Thread safe.
- Includes a number of extra utility classes for providing high precision timers, API runtime DLL linking, and basic zip compression.
- xFiles is Clarion Source Code. This means that your application is not dependent on external DLLs or Microsoft toolkits.
The xFiles classes are compiled into your application and they run on all flavours of the Windows 32-bit Operating Systems.
- xFiles is very fast, however it was
not built to be a generic XML parser. This means that it handles basic
XML, but does not process all types of XML. It does however read every
file that it creates.
