Subject: [step-os] EXPRESS/Ruby anyone?
Message-ID: <000401c5ec45$3ba0a710$2101a8c0@ESUKPC20>

All,

I've started an EXPRESS to Ruby mapping starting with Part 28 Edition 2 XML
support for now. If you're interested in helping or testing in this area,
please let me know. I've published this work at
http://www.exff.org/express_ruby for the time being.

It is not clear to me that this is anything that should necessarily be
standardized. It is intended for demonstrators and prototypes, not
production use. If it did make sense, I have no particular objections
though.

Big Caveat : I'm a complete Ruby novice and the work so far is just to prove
the concept - so don't be *too* critical. I've simply tried to do enough to
show what's possible. For example, I've only implemented limited XML write
capabilites.

Cheers,
David
