What is SapiProcessor?

SAPIPROCESSOR - is a compact toolkit for processing of documents using XML Sapiens. SAPIPROCESSOR takes XML files with data, XML Sapiens scenarios, environment variables as input parameters. SAPIPROCESSOR returnes parsed page or an XML tree for further format processing. So, SAPIPROCESSOR compiles document from separated data, presentation template and XML Sapiens scenarios. In fact, SAPIPROCESSOR is a CMS core.

SAPIPROCESSOR is an open project; other users and developers are encouraged to use it or to help us testing or improving it.

How to use SAPIPROCESSOR

To perform parsing on document, it's template (http://www.xmlsapiens.org) and XML file with XML Sapiens scripts should be prepared. Template contains links to user interfaces scripts, common content blocks (SDC), object administrative masks.

Data and template shold be passed to class constructor
$sapi = sapi_core(string $DATA_filelink_or_code, string $Template_filelink_or_code[, array Environment_array]);

Now perform parsing. Get compiled document as a result
$result = $sapi->process();

Switch to administrative mode:
$sapi->access_mode="administration";
