1. Lang-Converter (Draft 1)
ALPHA Script - Lang-Converter is the application that uses a XML reader, parses the XML
schema and generates code in any programming language. The purpose of this paper is only
to refer to best practices on developing a Lang-Converter that translates ALPHA Script
meta-language into a true programming language.
The Lang-Converter should start reading from the top of the XML file. When the reader
meets the “definitions” and “code blocks” should map them into equivalent code of the
target programming language and then move on to the “base”.
When the base code refers to a definition tag or to a code block tag the converted code
should be mapped together with the referrer.
See the ALPHA Script – XML Schema (Example).xml for more information.
