JSDAI

Once one or several Express schemas are made available to JSDAI the tool ExpressDoc can be used to generate a HTML representation of the Express schema. Such HTML documentation has many advantages compared to the original Express schema(s). In a compact way it provides navigation features for:

• All backward references
• All subtypes and available complex entities with several leaves
• Lists the attributes of all the supertypes
• Is able to navigate through all related schemas
• Creates an index of all named data types
• Lists all available Java methods for early binding access
• Gives comments for every datatype and attribute

JSDAI ExpressDoc is also used to generate parts of the API reference documentation. As an example you may look to the HTML page, representing the entity Cartesian_point.

When working extensively with data models defined in Express you will find that the documentation, generated by JSDAI ExpressDoc is a big help, especially if the data model is rather big and spans over several schemas.
