Canam Software Labs, Inc. has announced the availability of XML Thunder Lite, a free downloadable software tool that allows quick conversion of COBOL COPYBOOKS or C data structures to XML, XSD or SOAP. By automating an essential process for application modernization that up to now was manual and error prone, XML Thunder Lite benefits end users as well as IT services organizations. XML Thunder Lite is a bi-directional solution as it also allows conversion of XML, XSD, WSDL or SOAP to COBOL COPYBOOKS or C structures. Built on years of experience working with enterprise customers this solution encapsulates best practices and practical project experience.

Most application modernization projects taking advantage of XML, web services or SOA technology include the need to map existing application data structures to XML or SOAP nodes. This mapping serves as the basis for constructing program logic that will enable existing application programs to consume or produce data as XML or SOAP. The creation of XML schemas or WSDL files describing the rules for XML or SOAP from existing data structures is a manual, time consuming and error prone process. XML Thunder Lite automates this and provides software developers with the freedom to perform rapid conversions. The converted data structures can also be used as input to other technologies, such as Java or .Net.

In addition to XML Thunder Lite’s conversion capability, the full XML Thunder product also enables the generation of complete COBOL or C implementation program logic that creates or consumes XML or SOAP. XML processing can be document level for one document at a time or can be stream oriented for XML documents of unlimited size.

With unparalleled XML feature support for COBOL applications, XML Thunder’s current customers include banks, insurance companies, other financial institutions, manufacturers, transportation and defense contractors, national armed forces, and retail companies. These organizations chose XML Thunder for their XML or SOAP processing needs because of the product’s unique capabilities and the vendor’s client-oriented support.
