FORMATTING AND VIEWING SOURCE OBJECTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- means for receiving a source object;
a parser configured to structurally parse the source object and to create a structural representation of the source object;
a linker configured to resolve references in the structural representation of the source object to create a linked structural representation of the source object;
a rules module that includes one or more rule units for formatting a source object for rendering;
a formatter configured to format the linked structural representation of the source object according to the one or more rule units included in the rules module to create a formatted linked structural representation of the source object; and
rendering means for converting the formatted source object into human readable form.

10. A system, comprising:
-
means for receiving a source object; a parser selector for selecting a parser that corresponds to the source object, the parser being configured to structurally parse the source object and create a structural representation of the first source object; a linker selector for selecting a linker that corresponds to the source object the linker being configured to resolve the local path of a parameter of the source object to a global path of the parameter of the source object; a rules module that includes one or more rule units for formatting and/or viewing the source object; a formatter selector for selecting a formatter that corresponds to the source object, the formatter configured to format the linked parsed structural representation of the source object; a sync module for communicating changes made to the formatted linked parsed structural representation of the source object; a mapping module for receiving changes made to the formatted linked parsed structural representation of the source object; and a viewer for viewing the formatted linked parsed structural representation of the source object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
selecting a source object; parsing the source object to create a structural representation; linking the structural representation; formatting the linked structural representation; rendering the formatted structural representation; and synchronizing one or more changes made to the formatted structural representation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
