IXIASOFT, the embeddable XML database and search engine market leader, today announced the availability of TEXTML Server® 3.5. This new version builds on TEXTML Server’s proven native XML storage and information retrieval technology and introduces new features designed to help OEM partners develop enterprise-scale content management solutions quickly and efficiently. With this enhanced enterprise-scale version, TEXTML Server 3.5 again raises the bar and secures its competitive edge as the most deployed XML server.

Major features include:

Rich XML conversion – Available with TEXTML Server 3.5 and above, TEXTML Universal Converter enables the conversion of over 220 data types to XML. As such, applications using TEXTML Universal Converter will now be able to access and index a much larger range of content, otherwise locked inside organizations. TEXTML Universal Converter transforms unstructured data into an XML schema in the form of the SearchML standard, enabling users to take full advantage of TEXTML Server’s advanced searching capabilities.

Native .NET API – In addition to the COM, JAVA, WebDAV, and OLEDB APIs already available, developers will now be able to have access to a native .NET API making the applications developed with TEXTML Server easier to deploy and install. Each API interface fully supports all functionalities of TEXTML Server.

Full XPath support – The new version of TEXTML Server fully supports the XPath standard. With this enhanced XPath support, the indexing engine becomes even more flexible allowing developers to easily populate indexes and to engage in complex conditional indexing. As a result, applications developed will gain in functionality and performance.

Enhanced manipulation of documents – With this new feature, developers are able to move and copy sets of documents from one folder to another, while maintaining the complete history/versions and properties of all documents.

«We are very excited about the TEXTML Server 3.5 release – more specifically, with the full XPath support which will enable us to manage generic XML structures more easily, as is the case with NewsML documents.» said Jean-Michel Texier, CTO of Eurocortex. « We will be better equipped to answer our customer demands with this new feature which allows native XML support for a wider range of document formats without compromising performance.»
