'XForms 2.0' and 'XForms 2.0: XPath expression module' Drafts
Published
08 August 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9533
The Forms Working Group has published two First Public Working
Drafts:
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/
* XForms 2.0. XForms is an XML markup for a new generation of
forms and form-like applications on the Web, integrated
into other markup languages, such as XHTML, ODF or SVG. An
XForms-based application gathers and processes data using
an architecture that separates presentation, purpose and
content. XForms accommodates form component reuse, fosters
strong data type validation, eliminates unnecessary
round-trips to the server, offers device independence and
accessibility, and reduces the need for scripting. XForms
2.0 adds support for defining custom functions, variables,
a pluggable expression language with extra functions (XPath
2.0), model-based switch and repeat, Attribute Value
Templates, consuming and submitting JSON and CSV instance
data, amongst other things.
* The Forms Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of XForms 2.0: XPath expression module. This
module defines how XPath could be used for addressing
instance data nodes in binding expressions, to express
constraints, and to specify calculations in XForms. This
module is based on XPath 2.0, but an XPath 1.0 backwards
compatibility mode is provided to ensure that nearly all
XPath 1.0 expressions continue to deliver the same result
with XPath 2.0. This module also defines the XForms
Function Library which contains additional functions that
are useful for creating forms.

Activity.
