Some of the most immediately noticeable ways OpenEdge supports your XML development work include:

  • The standard installation of OpenEdge includes built in parsers for reading and writing XML.
  • The Procedure Editor automatically applies hierarchical whitespace formatting and color to make reading and scanning XML documents easy.
  • XML parser functionality is accessed using the familiar concepts of ABL objects, methods, and attributes.
  • ABL XML-enablement features are simple enough to quickly implement basic use cases and rich enough to support the implementation of more complex use cases.
