DEFT Engine Features

The DEFT Engine can read any type of data, whether plain text, binary, encrypted or compressed, as long as the required data format module is available. The basic modules support plain text, XML, binary, ZIP/GZIP compression, OLE Structured Storage, PDF and other widely used formats.

The DEFT Engine can be used either as a server that transforms data from one format to another, or as a plugin generator for your own software. The DEFT Engine takes your definition of the data and uses that as the instructions on how to translate the input to the output. And if you need this kind of functionality, for example, as an import/export filter in your software, you can instruct the DEFT Engine to create a plugin module which you can embed in your software. The plugin does not need the DEFT Engine to run.

The DEFT Engine is truly Any2Any engine that can be used for any data transformation needed. The DEFT Engine supports XSLT for XML-transformations and user defined transformations.

The DEFT Engine will be available in Q3/2004 and earlier for a selected beta group earlier. If you would like to participate in the beta program, please contact us for details.
