General Interface applications use custom document formats to store and process data, store mapping rules, and to define GUI components. Common Data FormatCommon Data Format (CDF) is used by General Interface to store data. A CDF document provides a common format for sharing data among components, transferring data between client controls, and performing data mapping. See Common Data Format (CDF). Support is also provided for flexible CDF schema. See Flexible CDF Schema. Common Exchange FormatCommon Exchange Format (CXF), which is based on CDF, is used to store mapping rules to and from CDF and GUI components. CXF documents are created at design time by the XML Mapping Utility from source documents, such as WSDL, Schema, XML, and XHTML. CXF provides a common format for connecting to and exchanging data with disparate systems and services. At runtime, CXF is used to perform the actual interactions. See Common Exchange Format (CXF). Common Interface FormatCommon Interface Format (CIF) is a serialization format used to define jsx3.gui components. The CIF format provides improved readability and smaller file size. See Common Interface Format (CIF). |
