DDMSence : A Java API which supports the DoD Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS)

DDMSence (pronounced "dee-dee-em-Essence") is a Java API which supports the DoD Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS). It can transform XML DDMS Resource records into a Java object model (using XOM and Xerces), allowing them to be manipulated or traversed within the context of a Java environment. DDMSence also performs logical validation of rules which are not coded into the DDMS schema (such as the validation of longitude/latitude values).

XOM : An XML object model. It is a tree-based API for processing XML with Java that simultaneously supports streaming

XOM is an XML object model. It is a tree-based API for processing XML with Java that simultaneously supports streaming. In many use-cases, it can process arbitrarily large documents with effectively constant memory sizes. It strives for correctness, simplicity, and performance, in that order. XOM supports XSLT, Canonical XML, and XInclude.

MASH : A modular, automated script harness

MASH is a modular, automated script harness. It allows users to implement simple harnesses that perform work external to a system. The framework will invoke that harness as outlined by an XML script. For example, when using the framework to test a system you could create a script that cleans and loads a database, FTPs some data, submits a login form, and verifies HTTP information. Harnesses can easily be built to do almost anything (many harnesses are provided), not just Web page verification. While harnesses are written in Java, the scripts may be run against any type of system as harnesses are intended to act as clients.

Ample SDK : A standards-based cross-browser JavaScript GUI framework for building Rich Internet Applications running in a Web browser

Ample SDK is a standards-based cross-browser JavaScript GUI framework for building Rich Internet Applications running in a Web browser. It employs XML technologies (such as XUL, SVG, and HTML5) for UI layout, CSS for UI style, and JavaScript for application logic client-side. Ample SDK equalizes browsers and brings technology support to those missing any. The componentization model built into the core of the framework allows prototyping existing UI elements and creating new ones.
