A system is provided for manipulating data representation language based-objects
in a native programming language environment. In one embodiment, the system is
used to map data objects of the data representation language to corresponding objects
within the native programming language and vice versa. In one embodiment, the system
is equipped to receive a mapping definition mapping selected elements of a data
representation language, such as an XML data structure, to selected objects of
a programming language, such as ECMAScript. The system is further equipped to determine
whether the mapping definition comprises one or more definitional statements expressed
with data representation language oriented language elements of a programming language.
Further, the system is equipped to process the mapping definition statements comprising
data representation language oriented language elements of the programming language,
in accordance with syntactical and semantic definitions of the data representation
language oriented language elements.
