Infonyte Reader

XML constitutes a perfect basis for the creation and deployment of electronic information products like dictionaries, reference books, manuals, and product catalogs. The novel Infonyte Reader is a configurable, graphical user interface for searching, browsing, and reading of XML data. The development costs of electronic interactive manuals and catalogs will be reduced to a minimum (Screenshot of an example application). The creation of an Infonyte Reader application only requires the declarative description of user interface elements like query forms, navigational tools, hit and results lists as well as their linkage with the underlying XML data. Due to the seamless integration with the embedded XML engine Infonyte DB, Infonyte Reader applications benefit from excellent response times for querying and transformation of XML. The small footprint of the Infonyte Reader makes it an perfect base for small yet powerfull information products on CD-ROM.

Features

Configurable tree viewers and result lists for the fast navigation in large documents and results lists.
Configurable query forms.
Integration of persistent XSLT engine for the direct generation of HTML, XSL-FO, SVG, and other XML data out of documents and document fragements.
Lightweight implementation through compact, lossless binary format that significantly reduces the size of XML.
Fast search and retrieval through the definition of user-defined index structures.
Plattform independence by 100% Java implementation.

With its seamless usage of scalable XML-technology, the Infonyte Reader allows the cost-efficient implementation of browsing solutions for electronic manuals, and product catalogs. If the data is available in XML, the whole application development constitutes the creation of an Infonyte Reader specification (in XML) defining the application specific user interface logic, and corresponding XSL transformations for linking it with the underlying XML data.
