Publisher review:Apache AxKit is an XML application server for Apache. Apache AxKit is an XML application server for Apache.
It provides on-the-fly conversion from XML to any format, such as HTML, WAP or text using either W3C standard techniques, or flexible custom code. AxKit also uses a built-in Perl interpreter to provide some amazingly powerful techniques for XML transformation. AxKit makes the separation of content and presentation a practical reality. The pipelining technique that AxKit uses allows content to be converted to a presentable format in stages, allowing certain platforms to see data differently to others. AxKit allows web designers to focus on web site design, content developers to work on a purely content basis, and webmasters to focus on their core competencies. AxKit is based on components that are replaceable. This allows the web site developer to create a completely custom XML Application Server based around the AxKit API. AxKit can either automatically provide caching facilities, or you can create your own cache handler, so that XML transformations (which can be time consuming) only happen when required. The toolkit also provides ability to build component based web sites, and dynamic content. Database integration is fully supported, allowing either delivery of XML from a database, or XML generation from a database query. Dynamic web components can be built using the Perl language, making the possibilities as infinite as CGI scripts, without the potential mess that CGI programming can cause.
Features:
- XSLT based pipelined XML transformations
- Standards base stylesheet selection criteria
- Output in more than 180 different character sets (although browser support means that only about 10 of those are useful).
- XSP support for the Perl language, including Perl DBI based SQL taglib
- Built in Perl interpreter - no more CGI overhead
- Plug-in API - All components are replaceable with custom components.
- Support for almost every platform around: Linux, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Windows NT, BeOS, *BSD, VMS.
- Intelligent caching technology means your pages will be delivered as fast as static pages
- Deliver to different media using the sames set of URLs for all media types. Media types supported are: Screen (web browsers), Handheld (such as palmtop computers and mobile phones), TV (for example Sky's "Open", or Microsoft's WebTV), braille, aural, print, projection and tty (for text-only browsers).
- GZipped output encoding - great for slower links
