As XML is widely used across the computer related fields, and it costs expensive for its compiler, the study on the automatic generation of the compiler is becoming important. In addition, though the XMLSchema became a standard, there have been few works on the automatic compiler generation for XML applications based on the XMLSchema. In this paper, we introduce a method that we can automatically generate a compiler for an XML application based on the XMLSchema. Our XML compiler generator uses data type information in XMLSchema document and semantic information in another file and produces semantic classes and a compiler for the XML application. The compiler parses an XML document, builds a tree in which each node is an instance of semantic class, and processes the document through the traversal of the tree.

XML as a standard for representing data and document structure is widely used in every area, and we have to write XML compilers which process the XML documents according to a user's intention. Because it takes time and costs to write XML compilers by hand, we need some generators that automatically generate XML compilers. In this paper, we introduce an XML compiler generator named XCC. It reads DTD and semantic rules, and it generates XML compiler and Java classes which correspond to the elements defined in the DTD.

In this paper, we describe a design and implementation of the Wireless Markup Language(WML) compiler to deploy wireless Internet services effectively. The WML compiler translates textual WML decks into binary ones in order to reduce the traffic on wireless links that have relatively low bandwidth to wireline links and mitigate the processing overhead of WML decks on, wireless terminals that have relatively low processing power to fixed workstations. In addition, it takes over the overhead of eXtensible Markup Language(XML) well-formedness and validation processes. The WML compiler consists of the lexical analyzer and parser modules. The granunar for the WML parser module is LALR(1) context-free grammar that is designed based on XML 1.0 and WML 1.2 DTD(Document Type Definition) with the consideration of the Wireless Application Protocol Binary XML grammar. The grammar description is converted into a C program to parse that grammar by using parser generator. Even though the tags in WML will be extended or WML DTD will be upgraded, this approach has the advantage of flexibility because the program is generated by modifying just the changed parts. We have verified the functionality of the WML compiler by using a WML decompiler in the public domain and by using the Nokia WAP Toolkit as a WAP client. To measurethe compressibility gain of the WML compiler, we have tested a large number of textual WML decks and obtained a maximum 85 %. As the effect of compression is reduced when the portion of general textual strings increases relative to one of the tags and attributes in a WML deck, an extended encoding method might be needed for specific applications such as compiling of the WML decks to which the Hyper Text Markup Language document is translated dynamically.
