Open-GroIMP Specification
The Open-GroIMP plugin allows to call GroIMP from other applications via the network. A GroIMP-graph (encoded as XML) together with an XL-program is passed to the running GroIMP instance using the HTTP protocol. Then GroIMP compiles the XL-program, executes it and sends back the resulting graph. The details of how to encode the graph and the process of invocation of the XL-program is explained in the following documents.
- The file Specification.txt describes the supported node types and their attributes as encoded in the XML.
- An XML-schema for this is given in exchangegraph.xsd.
- A description of the communication protocol is described in
Description.txt. - An example of an exchange graph is given in sample.xeg, together with an XL-file to rewrite the graph in sample.xl.
