XML-Director 2.0 update
XML-Director is our Plone-based integration and implementation platform for delivering enterprise-grade publishing solutions to customers.
The core features of XML-Director are:
- transparent application access to XML databases (Exist-DB, BaseX, Marclogic Server), DMS (Alfresco), WebDAV-based storages (Dropbox, Sharepoint) and cloud storages like Dropbox, Google Drive or S3
- registries for XML validation and XML transformations
- export and import of data and content
- a REST API for managing content, workflows and conversions
- a very secure CMS with workflow support, user and group management etc. based on the CMS Plone
Due to its modular and generic design, XML-Director is capable to integrate third-party conversion services easily and seamlessly:
- conversion from DOCX to XML (and back to DOCX lossless) using C-REX conversion service
- conversion from XML/HTML to high-quality PDF (supporting PDF converters like PrinceXML, PDFreactor or Antennahouse)
- EPUB conversion using Bookalope
- DITA conversion (using DITA-OT or XMLMind DITAC)
- various XML related transformations using Transpect
- integration with Calibre
In XML-Director Version 2.0 (soft-released lately) we introduce some more new features
- full support for Plone 5.0 and 5.1
- a new user interface for navigating and filtering your content and data
- a reimplemented import form for zipped content or a new multi-file upload
- support for Dropbox as content source
- integration Twitter and Facebook for pushing content updated directly to social media
- integration with Nimbudocs editor for building decent WYSIWYG web-to-print applications
