  • High-level virtual machine for fast XML parsing and validation
    Patent number: 7882429
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document can include loading an execution plan into a virtual machine, wherein the execution plan represents an XML schema, and loading an XML document into the virtual machine. XML processing functions available within the virtual machine can be selectively invoked according to the execution plan, wherein the XML processing functions operate upon the XML document. An indication of whether the XML document is valid according to the XML processing functions can be output.

  • METHOD FOR PERSISTING OR TRANSFERRING AN XCODES EXECUTION PLAN IN A SELF-CONTAINED, PLATFORM INDEPENDENT FORMAT
    Publication number: 20080189690
    Abstract: A method for constructing and executing an XCodes execution plan stored in a self-contained, platform-independent format, the method comprising: providing a plurality of Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents each having content, structure, and a plurality of instruction; identifying a language in which the content of the plurality of XML documents is written; converting the language to a set of abstract, platform-independent instructions (XCodes) representing the structure of the plurality of the XML documents, via a compilation step; converting the set of abstract, platform-independent instructions (XCodes) to a highly optimized, platform-specific form via a loading process; mandating an instruction-space allocation; allowing one or more extension instruction into the XCodes execution plan; setting symbolic references to the one or more extension instructions; ignoring the one or more extension instructions having the symbolic references; and constructing implementation-specific tables.
