One of my most recent projects is a Meta-Parser. The core requirement is to write a dynamic parser, which can be configured, allowing the user to setup certain patterns around the given input and extract those pattern tokens to being exposed to other layers of the main project. Surely this is a challenge, and interesting part of the global project. I’ve finished to work on this part of the project, it is implemented in C++ as the client requires it, and I’ve made a simple model based on the PAC architectural pattern.

As you have seen in my last post, I’ve been working on some strong changes on pyxser. Today I’ve released pyxser-1.4r and the announcement message:

pyxser, my Python-Object to XML serializer is suffering few changes, but important ones. The main change is the fact that I will add a type map optional parameter for deserialization functions. How should it work?

Dear pyxser users, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve released pyxser-1.3r. The current ChangeLog for this release is as follows (Update: There was bug in the pyxser-1.3r release, it is patched and working in pyxser-1.3r-p1):

I’ve passed some test on an online certification entity called ExpertRating. So, I can continue doing those tests, making my profile grow up. I think that if you want to hire me, you must think on my capacity as software developer, and all this knowledge is product of professionalism and dedication to learn about computers — which are not subject to criticism. The test have a score from 0.0 to 5.0, the percentile column shows my level facing the others developers that have passed the test, the columns that have TOP 20%, means that I’m over the 80% of the rest, and the duration is the time that I’ve used to take the test. I think that I will make my profile grow up to 30 test or more…

pyxser, my Python-Object to XML serialization/deserialization extension — completely written in C — that can be used at least in a lot of kinds of object communications and object storage tasks. Since it is not a binary serializer, you can handle the serialized objects with a lot of available APIs. In this post I will explain how to work with pyxser and the ZSI Python framework to work with WebServices.

The past October 9, I’ve presented pyxser at the JRSL’09 — Jornadas Regionales de Software Libre — event. The assistance to the event was relatively poor in quantity, but strong in quality. The presentation itself was a conversation and interactive presentation for a small group, with continuous questions and explanations on how to work with pyxser, and how pyxser works. I’ve decided to publish the pyxser paper, presentation and demos, plus an explanation on this article about the presentation.
