Declarative Processing Markup Language

DPML was developed by 1060 Research as a service assembly language which can script primative service-based operations into processing pipelines. Its scripts are written in XML, though in future a compact notation may be developed [XML syntax is verbose but has the powerful advantage that it can be dynamically generated or processed within a process - a pattern called "dynamically generated code".]

DPML supports all the features that other pipelining languages support such as variable assignment and subroutines, but in addition provides some unique features such as nested exception handling, literal documents and conditional and iterative processing.

NetKernel hosted services may be combined into applications and processes using DPML declarative processing. An in depth tutorial to using DPML to build declarative processes is provided.
