A leading manufacturer of gas measurement devices asked ProtoLink
to develop a standard import/export methodology for an existing
data collection and analysis software package. Recognizing the advantages
of using XML over CSV and binary file formats, ProtoLink developed an XML-Data
Reduced (XDR) schema to specify the structure of the data files compatible with
the import/export processes. The code that implements the import/export support
makes extensive use of the Document Object Model (DOM) and XML Path Language
(XPath) to manage and manipulate the XML documents.
