DocFlex SDK is a flagship product of Filigris Works. It represents a technology for rapid development of the template-based software tools built into particular Java™ applications and intended for computer-aided programming and designing of the automatic documentation generators able to process in a unified way nearly unlimited diversity of the data sources provided by such applications and to generate by them a professional quality documentation in interchangeable destination output formats.

XML Application Line

DocFlex/XML SDK is a System Development Kit for designing and running any kind of documentation/report generators from any data stored in XML files. Actual doc/report generators are created in the form of special templates, which are designed visually using a graphic Template Designer basing on the datatype information obtained from DTD or XSD (W3C XML Schema) files that describe the particular XML-file data source. All formatting is specified in templates independently of any destination output formats. A template set (called “template application”) is interpreted by the template interpretor / output generator, which makes the result XML doc/report generator work. The output format is selected ony before the generation and may be one of the following: framed multi-file HTML, single-file HTML, RTF and TXT (plain text). The whole system may be considered as an alternative to XSL Transformations: the templates are equivalent of XSLT scripts; the DocFlex/XML generator is an equivalent of XSL processor. The difference is that DocFlex technology actually provides more capabilities than XSLT. Moreover, the “templates versus scripts” approach allows you almost to avoid (or, at least, lessen very much) the need of coding of any scripts at all! Now, instead of programming everything on the level of abstract commands and operators, you can visually design the generated content as you expect to see it in the output documentation mostly by using mouse and specifying properties in the Template Designer dialogs. At that, you will be able to run the generator immediately and check how the actual result looks.

DocFlex/XML RE is a reduced free edition of DocFlex/XML, which provides only the template interpreter / output generator (without the Template Designer). It includes also “XSDDoc” template set (see below) and “XMLDoc” templates that you can use to compile any your generic XML files into a framed/single-file HTML or RTF documentation with the optional inclusion of the namespace bindings report. At last, the reduced edition can be used simply as an interpreter of your custom templates created with the full DocFlex/XML.

DocFlex/XML XSDDoc is a template application of DocFlex/XML that implements a powerful XML Schema Documentation Generator, which you can use to generate by any W3C XML schemas the following types of documentation: framed multi-file (Javadoc-like) HTML, single-file HTML and unmatched quality RTF.

DocFlex/XML XMLSpy Integration allows users to automatically insert graphic diagrams produced by Altova XMLSpy® into the output generated with DocFlex/XML templates (with full support of diagram hyperlinks). Together with “XSDDoc” template set (see above), it delivers a new fantastic XML Schema Documentation Generator with diagramming capabilities not found in any single product currently on the market!

Javadoc Application Line

DocFlex/Javadoc is a Doclet extension for Javadoc Tool which generates documentation using templates in any format supported by the DocFlex core: HTML, RTF and TXT (plain text). The plain text output may be especially useful for various utilizations of Java code information provided by Javadoc, for instance, for generating XML files by it. The software package includes the Template Designer and allows creating your own documentation generated by Javadoc. Using this tool, you will be able to visually design most of things whose development was possible so far only by direct Java coding.

DocFlex/Doclet is a free edition of DocFlex/Javadoc. It includes only the output generator and a set of build-in templates without the Template Designer. This may be useful because among other things this package provides a high quality RTF generator for Javadoc Tool.

Together Application Line

DocFlex/Together is a powerful template-driven documentation generator for Borland® Together® based on DocFlex Technology. It is prepared in the form of a Together plug-in which installs itself in Together IDE and allows to generate the superior quality documentation by Together projects and models in HTML and RTF output formats. The Template Designer included in the software allows to design your custom templates and may be both invoked from the Together IDE and launched as a separate Java application. The TXT output is supported as well and may be used for non-documentation tasks to harness sophisticated data query and processing capabilities presented in this technology (for instance, using templates and TXT output, you can easily program dumping the data from Together models into various XML files).

DocFlex/Together (Lite) is a reduced version of DocFlex/Together without Template Designer and distributed in freeware mode. The basic templates are embedded as resources. You can use this tool simply as an additional documentation generator for Borland® Together® with advanced capabilities plus a free interpreter for your custom templates.
