Developers using the Intel XML Software Suite will have to adapt the system to use the libraries, which involves some code rewriting. Pettit said that C++ developers "would have to write a minimum of six to 10 lines of code to interface with our APIs." He added that that's better than "than writing several hundred lines of code to try to get the performance and functionality" of Intel's libraries.
Intel began developing its XML libraries from scratch about two years ago, after acquiring the intellectual property of two companies, Sarbagen and Conformative Systems. The product is now generally available and works with versions of Microsoft Windows servers and operating systems, as well as open source Red Hat server OSes and Novell's SuSE. It also supports runtime environments such as Sun's J2SE, BEA Rockit and IBM JDK Linux.
