srcML

srcML is an XML format for source code. The XML markup identifies elements of the abstract syntax of the source-code language. The toolkit includes parsing supports conversion of C, C++, C#, and Java both to and from the srcML format. The format allows leveraging XML tools to support the various tasks of source code exploration, analysis, and manipulation.

srcML toolkit includes:

• srcML client srcml

  Conversion to the srcML format, querying, and transformation on srcML, and conversion of srcML back to source code

• libsrcml

  A C interface for translation of source code to and from srcML, as well as, efficient manipulation and fact extraction (XPath, XSLT, and RelaxNG). The srcML client srcml is built using libsrcml.
