Markup Procedural Language Integration for Dynamic Tag Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing programming environments that combine markup and procedural languages are limited in capability, with static tag structures and shallow object mappings, making them inconvenient for both beginners and experienced programmers, especially in creating dynamically generated web pages.
Innovation Solution
A programming paradigm that integrates markup language constructs with procedural programming language constructs, allowing for dynamic processing of tags that can invoke functions or instantiate classes, with a compiler generating intermediate code that executes in a runtime environment, enabling recursive processing and deep integration of markup and procedural language features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If markup language is used for programming, then ease of operation is improved, but functionality is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges markup language syntax with procedural programming capabilities by allowing tag bodies to contain executable code blocks. This integration enables the markup language to maintain its user-friendly syntax while incorporating the computational power of procedural languages, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal programming language that can serve multiple purposes: it functions as a declarative markup language for structure and presentation, while simultaneously providing imperative programming capabilities for complex logic and computation. This multi-functionality allows the same language to cater to both beginners and experienced programmers.
2Adaptability or versatility
If procedural language is used for programming, then functionality is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different parts of the program to have different characteristics. Simple structures use declarative markup syntax for ease of writing, while complex computational tasks use procedural code blocks within tag bodies. This localized approach to language style resolves the contradiction by providing procedural power only where needed.
3Ease of operation
If tag structures are static, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces dynamics to tag structures by enabling them to be processed recursively and modified during execution. Tags can contain code blocks that dynamically generate or modify other tags, allowing the structure to adapt and change based on runtime conditions while maintaining the familiar markup syntax.
4Ease of operation
If tag object mappings are shallow, then ease of operation is improved, but functionality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements nested doll by allowing tags to contain code blocks that can instantiate objects and access their properties. This nested structure enables deep object mapping where markup tags can reference and manipulate complex object hierarchies through embedded procedural code, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and functionality.
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed is a programming paradigm that integrates programming language constructs with markup language constructs in a document. Processing of the body of a tag in the markup language constructs produces output. A function or method associated with the tag may be invoked, including providing as input to the function or method the output from tag processing the body of the first tag.
