              XML to CSV and back again without loss of structure or data?

            • New software which makes use of the CSV compaction of XML easy? Thats what the subject line claims. Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to look into this further but for those of you in whom do not subscribe to xml-dev I wanted to get this out to you to play with and decide for yourself exactly what is being refered to. The post from just a few minutes ago is as follows:

              UPDATE: Correction on the URL

              Dear Sirs:

              This is announcement that the software which makes use of
              "CSV (Comma Separated Values) compaction for XML" easy was newly
              added.
              I introduced the revision of the CSV compaction software here in
              last April. This is the still stronger reinforcement.
              The added software is the GUI editor of Java version which generates
              specifications of how to compact XML documents.

              The CSV compaction is a tool which improves data-processing
              performance for large data-centric XML documents by packing specified
              non-process-target elements and attributes in the CSV format.
              The CSV compaction is an reversible process. The compaction and
              de-compaction are performed with the automatically generated XSL sheets.
              We have distributed the trial version from the following site:

              http://www.labs.fujitsu.com/en/freesoft/csvc4xml/

              The new added software displays a tree image, after inputting its DTD.
              And it can specify by GUI operations which elements and attributes are
              compacted. Then it outputs specifications for the CSV compaction.
              This software makes it easy to compact XML documents with many
              kinds of element names and complicated data structure.
              DTDs are generated by using a DTD generator tool from XML documents.

              Some open source software is appended to this Java version software,
              and, for this reason, this software can be tried without special
              initial setting.
              We express gratitude to the open source software used here,
              Apache Xerces, Apache Xalan, Saxon, DTDGenerator and nekoDTD.

              I would appreciate it very much if you try this software and give
              us your comments.

              Best Regards,

              =================
