# srcML

srcML is an XML format for source code. The XML markup identifies 
elements of the abstract syntax of the source-code language. The toolkit 
includes parsing supports conversion of C, C++, C#, and Java both 
to and from the srcML format. The format allows leveraging XML tools to 
support the various tasks of source code exploration, analysis, 
and manipulation.

srcML toolkit includes:

* srcML client `srcml`

    Conversion to the srcML format, querying, and transformation on 
    srcML, and conversion of srcML back to source code

* libsrcml

    A C interface for translation of source code to and from srcML, 
    as well as, efficient manipulation and fact extraction (XPath, 
    XSLT, and RelaxNG).  The srcML client `srcml` is built using 
    libsrcml.
