WG2.2 EXPRESS-X Evaluation: Phase 1 - Results
Phase 1 uses an EXPRESS-X-Parser provided by DaimlerChrysler Research and Technology
Declarative mapping language with powerful syntax
- independence of execution order
Flexibility of implementation strategies (Push- vs. Pull-Mapping)
Mapping specification is easier to read and understand than conventional mapping code (e.g., using SDAI and C/C++)
identification of numerous issues against EXPRESS-X
- Integration of procedural elements needed to allow easier coverage of specific mapping problems
- several syntactically and semantically improvements
- input into the EXPRESS-X standardization project in ISO TC184/SC4/WG11
