Unicorn Extensible Stylseheets (UXS) is an architecture for the rapid application development in the following areas:
UXS-based applications can retreive information from various data sources, in particular:
UXS is based on the very high level programming language, which is:
UXS interpreter is available as a stand-alone command line tool and is also integrated in several products of our company, like Unicorn Document Factory and Unicorn Information Server.
UXS is fully extensible. Interfaces to additional data sources and software components can be implemented using UXS Software Development Kit (UXS SDK), which supports the standartized UXS Application Programmer Interface (UXS API).
We already provide UXS interfaces to some specialized data sources. For example, UXS applications can retrieve information from Temenos Globus banking package using our XML Gateway technology.
UXS is can produce output in the following formats:
Furthermore, UXS can be combined with XML data formatting technologies (like Unicorn Formatting Objects) to produce the high-quality printable output in PostScript or PDF.
XML Gateway for Temenos Globus is a technology for the retrieval of information from Temenos Globus banking package in XML format. This technology can be used for the following purposes:
The Gateway has the client-server architecture. The Gateway server runs on the Globus host. It receives and interpretes requests from Gateway clients. The following request types are supported:
Regardless the type of a query, the result is formatted as XML and transmitted to the client.
The specialized XML query language provided by the Gateway implements the very compact and high-performance way of XML data retrieval from Globus. Data from arbitrary Globus tables can be extracted without substantial programming. Complex queries involving related records from multiple tables are supported. Data retrieval speed is optimized. Non-relation architecture of Globus database (multiple field values and sub-values, field groups) is fully respected and naturally mapped to the hierarchy of XML fragments.
The Gateway client is implemented as a stand-alone command-line tool and is also integrated in the special versions of Unicorn Extensible Stylesheet (UXS) engine.
At present, the XML Gateway technology is used in several banking solutions provided by our company, in particular:
