IXIASOFT, a provider of embeddable XML databases and search, has announced the availability of TEXTML Server 3.5. This new version builds on TEXTML Server's native XML storage and information retrieval technology and introduces new features designed to help OEM partners develop enterprise-scale content management solutions quickly and efficiently. Major features include:

Rich XML conversion: Available with TEXTML Server 3.5 and above, TEXTML Universal Converter enables the conversion of over 220 data types to XML. As such, applications using TEXTML Universal Converter will now be able to access and index a much larger range of content, otherwise locked inside organizations. TEXTML Universal Converter transforms unstructured data into an XML schema in the form of the SearchML standard, enabling users to take full advantage of TEXTML Server's advanced searching capabilities.

Native .NET API: In addition to the COM, JAVA, WebDAV, and OLEDB APIs already available, developers will now be able to have access to a native .NET API making the applications developed with TEXTML Server easier to deploy and install. Each API interface fully supports all functionalities of TEXTML Server.

Full XPath support: The new version of TEXTML Server fully supports the XPath standard. With this enhanced XPath support, the indexing engine becomes even more flexible allowing developers to easily populate indexes and to engage in complex conditional indexing. As a result, applications developed will gain in functionality and performance.
