Fabulous.  This will make the integration of GLPK into applications more seamless and speed the pace of development.

 

Thanks in advance for your hard work...

Interesting observation.

 

I'm working on just such a thing. I have a Java client app that talks to a linux server

that runs glpk. I want XML in and XML out.

 

I'm working on the XML Schemas now and will be happy to share them when they're

more complete.

 

I plan on generating Java and C classes/code from them, incorporating the C code

directly into glpk.

Subject: [Help-glpk] XML Result Output

A problem all solvers face is the non-uniform output from the solver.  We are constantly faced with reading a text file, that is not always the same depending on feasibility, and trying to extract the results.  I've been amazed that nobody has built an XML output from any commercial or open source solver so standard XML parsing routines are available for extracting and recording the results.  I would like to see an XML output option to aid in application integration.

 

Something like:

 

glpsol --model input.mod --xmlout result.xml

 

Unfortunately my languages don't include C or I would offer to help in this matter.
