hi all ,
I am a final year student from computer science and engineering department
of university of moratuwa. I would like to do a GSOC project .Some of
the prefered project ideas are as follows
1. Improve AXIOMXpath for support for Xpath 2.0
currently AXIOM is only support for Xpath 1.0 which is used in jaxen
1.1 .So upgrading Xpath 1.0 to Xpath 2.0 can be done by integrating Xpath
Processor such as psychoPath xpath 2.0 processor. basically it has loosely
coupled API with internal implementation and it has more than 80
production rules.Xpath parsing is done via JFlex and CUP.
2. Develop Abstract API for make AXIOM loosely couple with Xpath
Implementation.
currently AXIOM is tightly coupled with jaxen 1.1 and it will hard to
replace with new Xpath implementations.So developing Abstract API with
reusing javax.xml.xpath which is independent from object model is another
idea.
3. Implement Streaming Xpath Engine on top of the XMLStream.
Available Streaming Xpath Parsers are implement on top of the AXIOM
.So this idea is to implement it on top of the XMLStream which can gain
performance than others.Here a Xpath Expression Compiler should be
implemented and have to figure out object model for evaluate XML Stream.
I would like to work on a project above mentioned and
please send your thoughts and ideas .
thanks
