Overview  XML Data Binding involves the creation of a class library from an XML schema (XSD). Liquid XML Data Binder 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 Data Binder is the most comprehensive XML Data Binding Code Generation 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, Silverlight, 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. |

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  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, 4.2.4 (x86 32 bit) & 4.0.0 (x86 64 bit) and Mac OSX gcc 4.2.1. The full C++ runtime source code is also available (Developer Edition option) and is easily compiled onto other platforms (e.g. Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Mac OS). |
C++ The library is platform neutral. The product ships with Windows (Win32), Linux gcc 3.2, 3.2.2, 3.4.1, 4.2.4 (x86 32 bit) & 4.0.0 (x86 64 bit). It is successfully being used on Solaris, Forte, HP, embedded systems and other more obscure platforms. | Java Compiles to a single jar using a provided ANT build script. The resulting code can be used on java 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and JME. |
Silverlight, C# & VB .Net 100% native .Net package, the generated library can be used by all .Net languages, including C# and VB .Net | Visual Basic 6 Allows COM Objects to be created, which can then be used from any COM compliant environment (Delphi, Business Objects, ASP etc.) |
Unrivaled support for 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#, Silverlight and VB .Net. Support for the binary XML Fast Infoset specification (X.891) implementation of the W3C XML Information Set. | HTML 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. |
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 havecontrol 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 - Developer Edition Pro If you buy the Developer Edition, there is an option to buy the source code for the C++ libraries allowing you to re-compile it on pretty much any platform learn more | No Royalties You pay for the development licences only. The compiled code and redistributables are royalty free (see Licence Guide for full details).
