1. General Information

1.1. What is XJBC?

XJBC is an XML-based assembly language for the Java virtual machine.

1.2. Why use an assembly language although high-level languages are around?

The ability to work in one uniform language enables the support of different languages. An assembly language is the base of all higher-level languages and can therefore act as a "lingua franca".

1.3. Why not use such excellent Java libraries like BCEL?

Libraries like BCEL and CFParse are good tools to manipulate the Java class-files. But they are difficult to learn and use. You have to have the ability to program in Java, and the operations these libraries support are rather low-level. We at tangentum technologies believe that it is much more powerful to use high-level representation-systems of low-level languages like XJBC.

2. Licensing

2.1. XJBC is open-source. Are licenses available for commercial use of the tools?

Yes, of course. Please contact our sales staff for the concrete conditions and prices.
