ALPHA Script - XML Generator
1 like640 views
This document provides best practices for developing an XML generator. The generator is used to produce XML according to specifications. It outlines steps to write common options and code sections in the XML, including base, definition, and code block tags to organize the code. Code tags should be sequentially numbered and maintain numbering when nested in definitions or code blocks. An example XML schema file is referenced for more information.
![XML Generator (Draft 1)
ALPHA Script - XML Generator is the application that generates the XML schema. The XML
Generator produces the result according to the XML Model specifications. The purpose of
this paper is only to refer to best practices on developing an XML Generator.
Step 1: Write the following common options
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>
<program name="[File name]">
<definitions>
…
</definitions>
<code_blocks>
…
</code_blocks>
<base>
…
</base>
</program>
Step 2: Set code sections
Start with “base” and write code tags.
<base>
…
</base
When you have expressions and args attributes create “definition” tags
and write code tags inside them.
<definition id="def_num">
…
</definition>
When you have execute attributes create “code blocks” tags
and write code tags inside them.
<code_block id="code_block_num">
…
</code_block>](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/alphascript-xmlgenerator-111024125710-phpapp02/85/ALPHA-Script-XML-Generator-1-320.jpg)

- 2. Always try to give sequential numbering to your code tags and when you jump into a definition or a code block follow the numbering and return to your previous position with the next available code number.
