Product Overview
The Unisys XML Parser for ClearPath is an application programming interface (API) that a COBOL85, ALGOL, or NEWP application can use to parse, create, or modify XML documents.
Unisys XML Parser helps to accelerate development and deployment of business process integration projects by reducing the complexities involved in exchanging information between applications. Unisys XML Parser accomplishes this by enabling MCP applications to use XML documents to exchange data with other applications.
General Features
Using the Unisys XML Parser for ClearPath MCP, applications can
-
Parse and validate XML documents. An application can supply any of the following to the parser:
-
Data from an XML document.
-
References to an MCP file containing an XML document.
-
An HTTP URL that identifies the document location on an HTTP server.
-
-
Provide XML document data to applications.
An application can ask the parser to provide all data in an XML document sequentially (SAX-mode) or to provide specific data in an XML document (DOM-mode).
-
Create and modify XML documents
The parser can create an XML document or modify a parsed XML document and can return the new or modified document to the application or save to an MCP disk file.
-
Monitor Java components
The parser can monitor the following characteristics in the Java component: status, version, number of connections, worker threads, memory use, and documents parsed.
-
Transform XML documents into other documents using XSLT
The XML Parser supports multiple JPMs in active or standby mode, for scaling and redundancy.
File Cache improves performance of reading MCP files for Unisys XML Parser and file merging capabilities.
The XML Parser supports the XML Path Language (XPATH). The implementation of the XPath feature supports the W3C XPath 1.0 syntax for expressions that can access an XML document.
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) allows parsing of JSON into XML so that an application can access data in a received JSON document.
