XRX: Simple, Elegant, Disruptive A meme gathering momentum is "XRX" - XForms on the client, REST interfaces, XQuery on the server. One posting was by Dan McCreary on xml.com (http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2008/05/xrx_a_simple_elegant_disruptiv_1.html), which contained the memorable quote Traditional methods required approximately 40 inserts into separate tables within a relational database. The use of XForms and eXist resulted in one line of XQuery code: store(collection, file, data) That was it. Simple. Elegant. I was hooked. Since then the meme has been popping up elsewhere. For instance, see XRX http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XRX XRX: Performing Updates http://news.oreilly.com/2008/07/xrx-performing-updates.html @@ Anyone want to add to the list?? @@ Steven
