Transitive Dynamics, Inc.’s TranDyne HTML 4.0 Software Developers Kit was recently released, designed to allow software developers to embed HTML parsing
capabilities directly within their applications.
According to the company, tools will support all compilers compatible with the ANSI C/C++ specifications, and use of the tools in compiled applications carries no
runtime fees or royalty requirements. Full C/C++ source code for the tools will be available.
The kit consists of the TranDyne HTML Foundation
Classes (HFC), “strict” and “extended”
grammar/parse engines, and pre-built code libraries
for the major supported compilers. The HTML
Foundation Classes contain an abstract class for
each HTML tag, and a tag management class. The
Strict parsing engine contains support for only
standard HTML 4.0 tags; while the Extended engine
adds support for various HTML extensions provided
by specific browsers such as Netscape or Internet
Explorer.
The TranDyne HTML 4.0 SDK is expected to be
available as a beta version in late November. For
pricing information, contact the vendor.
