• Sleep [http://sleep.dashnine.org/] is a multi-paradigm scripting language for the Java Platform
• easy to learn with Perl and Objective-C inspired syntax
• executes scripts fast with a small package size (~250KB)
• excels at data manipulation, component integration, and distributed communication
• seamlessly uses Java objects and 3rd party libraries

Dependencies

XOM [http://xom.nu] open source (LGPL), tree-based API for processing XML with Java

QuickStart

Add sleepxomxml.jar xom-1.1.jar to Sleep's classpath

Or use:

import * from: ./lib/xom-1.1.jar;
import gr.altsol.sleepxomxml.XomXML from: ./dist/sleepxomxml.jar;

Then you can use the following script as a template for your own scripts:

use(^gr.altsol.sleepxomxml.XomXML);

$handle = openf("./test-attributes.xml");
$doc = xomBuild($handle);
closef($handle);
$root = xomGet($doc,"root");

Library Funtions

   xomBuild($handler)                  : $document
   
   createXomBuilder(%hash)             : $builderClosure
   
   createXomSerializer(%hash, $handler): $serializerClosure 
   
   xomStripMarkap("text")              : $string
   
   xomEncodeEntitites("text")          : $string                
   
   omIsNodeType($node,"nodeType")      : $int (boolean)
                          
   xomQuery($node,"xpath")             : @nodes                 

   xomGet($node, "propertyName", ...)  : $scalar
