CSPX will be born soon.

I am just wondering why there is no such application that use the power of C to build a web application. I know that perl, php and another interpreter are made by C, but they are just an intepreter. They are not exposing how powerful C is.

The idea is taken from ASP.Net from microsoft.It's a nice idea where you seperate the User Interface and the code. I just wonder why we don't have it and apply it to C.

From the big view it's very easy to implement, what you have to do is to map the UI and the code. So every controls or tags in document, I'll call it cspx document (with cspx extention), are mapped to one control variable in the code. Any changes that have been applied in the code (control variables) should be mapped again to the document.

I'll give you the big picture from my example below :
Let say your document is here

< cspx:textbox id="textbox1">

and the code is here
textbox1.value = "test"

So the doument that you have to send to browser is just like this.

< input id="textbox1" value="test">


Simple? Yes it's simple.

Now I have made the framework but it has limited features right now. CSPX has few features e.q cookies, session, query string, POST methods, retrieving file and multipart/form-data. I know it cannot be released know but soon it will. Now I am focusing on the parser itself. I need a powerful xml parser. I think apache xml api is powerful, so I decided to use it. Let see then.
