THE DUALITY OF XML MARKUP AND PROGRAMMING NOTATIONPage 1THE DUALITY OF XML MARKUP AND PROGRAMMING NOTATIONKurt NrmarkDepartment of Computer Science Aalborg University Denmark.normark@cs.auc.dkABSTRACTIn web projects it is often necessary to mix XML notation and program notation in a single document or program. In monolingual situations the XML notation is either subsumed in the program or the program notation is subsumed in the XML document. As an introduction we analyze XML notation and programming notation in relation to each other. As the main contribution of the paper we describe a number of general issues to consider when subsuming XML in a given programming language. KEYWORDSXML program notation web programming.1. INTRODUCTIONIn almost any use of XML there is a need to involve some kind of programming. The transformation of XML to other formats is a dominant example. The target format is often but not necessarily HTML. Tools that generate static web contents from XML sources represent concrete examples. Programs that implement web services form other examples.In the situations mentioned above we find it relevant and interesting to analyze how program fragments and XML document fragments are mixed and integrated in a single document or in a single program. Overall the following types of combinations are possible: Markup hosting. Within the scope of a complete XML document pieces of programs appear as constituents. The program fragments are typically located in distinguished tags such as <% ... %> or in brackets or braces. Program hosting. Within the scope of a complete program pieces of XML markup appear asconstituents. At the most primitive level the XML fragments appear as text strings in print statements or in similar contexts. Markup subsumption. The programming notation is subsumed in XML. A special interpreter must exist to process these XML fragments. With this it is possible to formulate programmatic solutions such as doc ...
