ODFDOM - the new opensourced multi-tiered API for the ISO OpenDocument Format
Blog entry: Submitted by Svante Schubert on Fri, 2008-04-25 13:23.
ODFDOM is the name of the upcoming free OpenDocument framework sponsored by Sun Microsystems Inc.
It will be the next evolutionary step after AODL and Odf4j. Designed together with their architects with the intent to provide an easy lightwork programming API for the ODF developer community. ODFDOM is meant to be portable to any object-oriented language.
The first pre-version of the Java 5 reference implementation of ODFDOM is planned to become available under LGPL3 in May 2008.
