'XML Data Binding' involves the creation of a class library from an XML schema (XSD). Liquid XML 2008 generates a class libraries specifically for use with your XML Data allowing XML documents to be manipulated programmatically, in a simple, intuitive way. Meaning you deal with named, strongly typed properties an classes instead of generic XML Nodes. This reduces the amount of coding needed, increasing productivity and reliability.

Liquid XML 2008 is the most comprehensive XML Data Binding tool on the market. With Support for all major development languages, hardware environments, and schema standards.

Using Liquid XML within your software development project will radically simplify your interaction with XML documents, increasing reliability, reducing development time, and testing effort. Simply put it bridges the gap between your development language (C++, C#, Java, VB6, Vb.Net) and XML. Once you try it you'll never go back to a basic parser.

If you are new to XML Data Binding, then please read our Introduction to XML Data Binding, or look at our examples.

• Reduces Development Time
• Increased reliability
• Generates an easy to use Class Library for C#, VB.Net, Java, VB6, cross platform C++ (Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP)
• Supports XSD, XDR & DTD's
• Supports the Fast Infoset binary XML standard
• Support for the most complex XML standards including; ACORD, Dimensional Markup Language (DML), Financial products Markup Language (FpML 4), Health Level Seven (HL7), Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG-7), Project Management XML (PMXML), QuickBooks (qbXML)

Saves you time and money
90% reduction in the amount of code you have to write! It simplifies the development cycle, cutting development and maintenance effort, saving you time and money.

Simplifies Development
XML Data Binding objects provide XML serialization and validation, leaving you to concentrate on implementing business logic.

Language support C++ , C#, Java, VB .Net & Visual Basic 6
We have clients on a wide range of platforms, using a number of languages. The structure of the generated code is the same in each language, meaning you don't need to re-learn the libraries if you are working with more than one language.
Our cross platform C++ libraries come with runtimes for Win32, Linux gcc 3.2, 3.2.2 & 3.4.1. The full C++ runtime source code is also available (see the Pro Edition) and is easily compiled onto other platforms (e.g. Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Mac OS).

Unrivaled support for the W3C XSD standard
The Liquid XML supports an unprecedented amount of the XSD standard, meaning it will process complex XML schema that lesser products will not. Industry standard schema that are used as Liquid XML test cases include: FpML, HL7, MPEG7, xCBL, PMXML, DML, QuickBooks etc.

More readable and reliable code
More readable code means lower maintenance and development costs. If you are using MSXML or another XML DOM parser, the code you create is bloated and difficult to follow. With the XML classes the code is smaller and simple to read.

Ease of Use
The XML classes are simple to use. This reduces time spent developing and maintaining code. Because the classes are specific to your schemas, and strongly typed, your developers can also make use of intellisense - further speeding development!

Simple Intuitive Code
We have worked hard to ensure the interface you will use is as simple and intuitive as possible, as well as being extremely fast and easy to work with. See our Performance Statistics and Sample Project.

Fast Infoset Support in C++, C# and VB .Net
Support for the binary XML Fast Infoset specification (X.891) implementation of the W3C XML Information Set.

Documentation
A full set of HTML documentation is created along with your code making getting to grips with the structure of your new library simple. This means your team will no longer have to spend hours referencing the XSD schema documents (some of which are huge for example, xCBL is almost 2Mb of schema). Instead developers can can simply use the hyper linked help generated specifically for your schema.

Mature Product
Liquid XML has had continual product enhancement since 2001, and is used on business critical systems by many leading companies world wide - see our client list.

Unparalleled support.
We provide a first rate support service with excellent response times and you will always be answered by a real person, no automated systems.

Reliable and Future Proofed
The generated classes ensure compliance to the specified schema, so you and your team do not need to spend unnecessary time learning the complexities of XSD, XDR or DTD.
Even if your schemas are simple now, its unlikely that they will stay that way. If you incorporate a lesser product into your development, what happens when it can't cope with the latest change to your schema? This is especially critical when you don't have control over a schema (i.e. its a 3rd party standard).

Strongly Typed with flexibility to change the code
The generated classes are strongly typed, meaning they are easier to work with, and have the added benefit of highlighting problems in your code at compile time NOT runtime.
Even though the classes are strongly typed you have the ability to add code/methods and regenerate the code from the schema, and hey presto - your changes are still there, many of our users find this invaluable.

Available Source Code
If you buy the Pro Edition, you get the source code for the C++ libraries allowing you to re-compile it on pretty much any platform.

No Royalties
You pay for the development licences only. The compiled code and redistributables are royalty free (see Licence Guide for full details).
