Patent ID: 8533693

Claim:
In a computing system using a conventional programming language to create instances of a document object model (DOM), a method for simplifying explicit construction of the DOM, the method comprising: accessing a coded program, wherein the coded program is written primarily in a non-markup language code, and wherein at least one XML literal is written directly in the non-markup language code in lieu of explicit instructions; after accessing the coded program with the XML literal written directly in the non-markup language code, extracting the at least one XML literal from the non-markup language code of the coded program; translating the at least one XML literal previously extracted from the non-markup language code of the coded program; and executing the coded program that includes the at least one XML literal to create an instance of an XML DOM, wherein creating the XML DOM includes embedding the XML literal as included within the coded program in the non-markup language code in lieu of executing corresponding instructions in the non-markup language.
