Patent abstract

In an implementation of an XML-based preprocessor, a programmed source file is parsed to generate a syntactic representation of the programmed source file. An XML (Extensible Markup Language) document is generated from the syntactic representation of the programmed source file, and a transform is applied to the XML document to generate a modified XML document from which an output file is generated in a format of the programmed source file.
