iQ-XML
Written in Clarion by Robert Paresi

The easiest way to incorporate XML reading and writing in your Clarion application - with over 50 easy to use functions!

iQ-XML is a free tool for Clarion developers to add XML functionality to their applications with very little knowledge. It offers many features not found in Clarion's own XML functions. iQ-XML comes with both Parser and Writer functions. Generate an XML document from a Clarion Queue, Group structure, or using the API's. A novice user can read a complex XML document and fill a Clarion Queue easily. Navigate easily through the XML document, finding nodes and parsing only what you need.

• Process XML files with CDATA and attributes.
• Process XML files even with Binary fields (both parser and writer)
• Easily fill queue contents with different field names including dimensional fields (parser and writer).
• Easily debug your process with an included XML Debugger as well as debug the contents of your own queue.
• Cascade field contents from one level in to another level during parsing.
• Easily prime empty queue fields with values or skip added queue entries based on optional data requirements.
• PDF and Online HTML documentation as well as example applications included.
• Works easily with both Clarion Legacy and Clarion ABC - templates and hand-coding.
• and so much more - and all this is totally FREE!

Great program! Thanks, this is just what I needed!! I had purchased "..." and spent over 30 hours trying to get it to write a queue to an XML file. I never did get it to work. I took iQ-XML and did it in less than 10 minutes!! - G.S.

"I really want to thank you for the fine work you've donated to the community with iQ-XML." - Jim

iQ-Toy
Written in Clarion by Robert Paresi

This is a Clarion Search Utility program I wrote many years ago.

iQ-Toy is a free tool for Clarion developers to search their code to find where things are. It is very fast, and shows you the Function and Module the code is in. I use it everyday! If I need to find out what function something is in, I can type a word from the screen and up it comes.

Best of all, it's free - so give it a try!!!!

This was based on the Clarion Toy window that Nigel Hicks (G.R.H.S.) wrote many years ago.
