Develop independent Java™ application programs that use the IBM® DFDL API to parse a text or
binary data stream into the equivalent logical information, or to
serialize logical information into an equivalent text or binary data
stream.
Before you start:
Read about the IBM DFDL Java classes. Documentation for
the IBM DFDL Java classes is provided as part of the IBM Integration Bus product installation. For example,
on Windows, the documentation
is in the install_dir\docs\dfdl directory,
where install_dir is the directory that you specified
as the installation directory for IBM Integration Bus.
A sample is provided to demonstrate how to use the IBM DFDL API. Run and explore the
sample to learn what you can do with the IBM DFDL
API. The IBM DFDL API sample
is located on Windows, for example,
in the install_dir\sample\dfdl directory.
For information about how to use the IBM DFDL
API to develop independent programs, see Configuring an environment for independent DFDL applications.
Next:
When you have written and tested your programs, you can distribute
them to the systems that you want to run those programs. If a system
that you want to run your IBM DFDL
API independent programs does not have the IBM Integration Bus runtime component installed,
you must complete additional configuration steps; see Configuring environments without the broker component installed.
