XML Readers/Writers

Many applications that I write for clients are for the production or management of XML files. These files are used in a variety of ways, from the configuration of other applications, transmission of message data across a network, configuration of hardware and many, many more.

Most often it is required that a simple tool is provided for the clients employees to manage the XML data in a more human readable way, or with some level of automation using the clients business rules applied to the creation of the XML data. Typically, this is achieved by creating a GUI for the XML that is specific to the business function (occasionally more than one interface is required) so that the user of the data doesn’t have to learn a whole bunch of technology just to do their job.
