Metah.X(简称MX)用自创的语法实现了[url="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/"]XML Schema 1.0[/url]的语义,并且用C#实现了一个Schema-lized Document Object Model (SDOM),编译器编译MX代码后将生成使用SDOM的C#代码,这将XML Schema的语义映射到C#上,从而完全释放出XML Schema的力量。尽管现在只有C#版,实现Java版或其它语言版本是完全可能的。
MX是个开源项目,欢迎参与,比如实现Java版或其它语言版本;MX没有定型,欢迎提出修改意见。请访问:[url]http://metah.codeplex.com/[/url]。
XML Schema定义了XML数据(或叫XML实例)的形状及需要遵守的规则,比如下面的XSD代码:
下面是合法的XML数据:
因为XSD相当繁琐不便于书写,MX自创了用户友好的语法来表达XML Schema的语义,下面的MX代码和上面的XSD代码表达了相同的语义:

MX编译器编译HelloWorld.mxcs后,将生成如下的C#代码:
使用编译器生成的代码,就可以创建、查询、修改、保存、装载及验证XML数据,下面的手写代码演示了如何使用编译器生成的代码:

也就是说,MX的用处 = XML Schema的用处 + Document Object Model的用处。欲知详情,请访问:[url]http://metah.codeplex.com/[/url]

var phones = customer.EnsureComplexChild().Ensure_Phones();
var phone = phones.CreateAndAddItem();
phone.EnsureAttributeSet().Category_Value = PhoneCategory.Work;
phone.Value = "12345678-334";
phones.CreateAndAddItem().Value = "87654321";
var customerElement = new Customer_ElementClass { Type = customer };
using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(@"d:\customer.xml", new XmlWriterSettings { Indent = true }))
customerElement.Save(writer);
//
var ctx = new X.Context();
using (var reader = XmlReader.Create(@"d:\customer.xml")) {
Customer_ElementClass customerElement2;
if (Customer_ElementClass.TryLoadAndValidate(reader, ctx, out customerElement2)) {
var customer2 = customerElement2.Type;
Console.WriteLine("Name={0}, Email={1}, RegistrationDate={2}",
customer2.AttributeSet.Name_Value, customer2.AttributeSet.Email_Value, customer2.AttributeSet.RegistrationDate_Value);
foreach (var phone2 in customer2.ComplexChild.Phones) {
Console.WriteLine("\tCategory={0}, Value={1}", phone2.Type.AttributeSet.Category_Value, phone2.Type.Value);
}
customer2.AttributeSet.Name_Value += "-Knat";
customer2.AttributeSet.RegistrationDate = null;
var phone3 = customer2.ComplexChild.Phones.CreateAndAddItem();
phone3.EnsureAttributeSet().Category_Value = PhoneCategory.Home;
phone3.Value = "11223344";
using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(@"d:\customer2.xml", new XmlWriterSettings { Indent = true }))
customerElement2.Save(writer);
}
else {
foreach (var diag in ctx.Diagnostics)
Console.WriteLine(diag);
}
}
}
}
