Package: GNU Marmot
System name: marmot
Type: GNU

Description:
The project GNU marmot comes from the need to deal with the tedious task of 
creating classes with accessor (set_*/get_*/add_*/push_*) functions, and 
converting such dataclasses into XML files.
Working with XML, one must always consider the complexity/speed tradeoff. 
Developpement of the code handling the data leaves us with few choices, we 
usually decide to go with the xerces implementation but we would chose 
something else if we weren\'t trying to have the fastest way to write our 
classes into files.
But writing isn\'t our only concern, we also have to read the data back into 
our data structures. This work is very repetitive/boring, and looks like it 
could be easily automated...
The idea of Marmot is born.
Alot of other ideas came with the handling of such data, like multiple target 
languages and multiple toolkits for the backend of the project.

Gnu marmot generates Xml parser for multiple languages(C++, java, Eiffel,...) 
and for multiples backend(Xerces, expat, ...).
It also generates Data class.
