The goal of the Tokyo Project is to design a process, an architecture, and tools to provide an XML view of non-XML data. This way, applications can view and create non-XML documents as easily as XML ones.

Towards this goal, Shibuya is an important step in Tokyo Project, with the release of a new API at its core, the TokyoNautilus API.

Included prototype illustrates how the TokyoNaut API can help to manipulate non-XML data as if it was XML, showing the re-ordering of CSV lines using XSLT.... read more

The Akihabara release is the official pre-alpha release of Tokyo Project (the goal of Tokyo Project is to design a process, an architecture, and tools to provide an XML view of non-XML data).

This release includes a Java/XSLT prototype transforming custom text data into custom text data using XSLT to reorder this data, AS IF it was merely XML.

Prototyping phase ended successfully prior to this release, demonstrating that the process defined as part of Tokyo Project allows Text-to-Text conversion. Besides, no major issue appeared during this experimentation as for Binary-to-Binary conversion, which will be demonstrated during the next phase of Tokyo Project (August 16th-31st 2005), with alpha release due in early September.

Chiyoda-ku is the first release of Tokyo Project, corresponding to version 0.1.
It includes a roadmap and informal definitions of process, architecture, and tools to fulfill the project goal: providing an XML view of non-XML data.
