Language Runtimes

Language Runtimes are services which schedule other services. An XML pipeline can be constructed as a series of service calls which a runtime schedules and manages.

NetKernel provides both declarative and procedural runtimes. Also, since standard XML technologies such as XQuery, use NetKernel as their URI resolver they too may be used as runtimes and may schedule services.

• DPML Declarative Processing Markup Language
• Scripting Script requests with Beanshell, Javascript, Python or Groovy
• XRL XML Resource Linker
• XQuery XML Query Language
• STM Simple Tree Manipulation

For examples of the use of runtimes to schedule XML pipelines see the XML pipeline guide.
