Description-en: literal XML syntax in Haskell source code - preprocessor
HSX (Haskell Source with XML) allows literal XML syntax in Haskell
source code. The hsx2hs preprocessor translates .hsx source files
into ordinary .hs files. Literal XML syntax is translated into
function calls for creating XML values of the appropriate forms.
hsx2hs transforms literal XML syntax into a series of function calls.
Any project can make use of the syntax by providing definitions for
those functions, and the XML values produced will be of the types
specified. This works for any types, since hsx2hs doesn't make any
assumptions, or inserts any information depending on types.
XMLGenerator defines a few typeclasses that together cover the
functions injected by the preprocessor. A project that uses these
classes to provide the semantics for the injected syntax will be
able to use any functions written in terms of these, allowing
better code reusability than if each project defines its own
semantics for the XML syntax. Also, the classes makes it possible
to use the literal syntax at different types within the same module.
Achieving that is not as simple as it may seem, but the XMLGenerator
module provides all the necessary machinery.
.
This contains the hsx2hs executable for preprocessing.
