The Milyn Project is building Open-Source Java components for performing Data Transformation and Analysis.
Smooks
Smooks is a Java framework for performing Fragment based Data Transformation and Analysis using existing technologies such as XSL, StringTemplate, Java and Groovy.
Smooks allows you to mix and match different technologies within the context of a single message transform, but does so in a way that provides a degree of isolation between the different technologies. This helps to maintain the portability of your transformation/analysis logic.
Other Milyn Components
An EDI to SAX Event Parser. Process an EDI message using XML Tools/APIs. |

A component for performing browser recognition and browser profiling in a J2EE Servlet Container. |
|
A component for parsing Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) data into a Document Object Model (DOM). |

Posted initial findings of integrating the Smooks Servlet Filter into the Chiba XForms Engine, replacing the Chiba XSLT transformation with a Smooks transformation. Response-time benchmarkings show Smooks to be up to x15 faster than XSLT for this type of transformation. See Chiba Integration for more details.
