Real-time XML Syntax Highlighter in Javascript - EditArea

If you are looking for a Real-time XML Syntax Highlighter and in the same time you want it as a web based lightweight tool then EditArea is the perfect solution for that.

In WSO2 ESB 3.0.0(up coming release) , I've integrated all the source(xml) fields with EditArea highlighter to give the use a real-time rich xml editing experience. However, the original highlighter comes with some dull colors for XML Syntax as well as for controllers. So, I modified the EditArea source and came up something like this. (It takes few seconds to load..;))






EditArea support syntax highlighting not only in XML but many other programming languages including Java,PHP, C/C++, CSS, Perl, Ruby, Python and many more.

I have hosted a modified version of EditArea which supports Real-time XML Syntax Highlighting here.

So, EditArea is one of the rear opensource tool that is specifically designed to support Real-time syntax highlighting for most of the popular programming languages and yet it runs with its extreme lightweight nature.

You can simply add my version of EditArea highlighter by simply adding the following code to ur blog post or html. Say that the text area that you want to add is id="textarea_1" then you can add this code snippet to you are html.

- First you want to point to the EditArea javascript source in your html/blog template. JS- src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5494230/editarea/edit_area_full.js"

- Then you need to initiate and load the EditArea Syntax Highlighter by giving the ID of your textarea.

Understanding Reactor Pattern with Java NIO

Why non-blocking IO A typical server application, such as a web server, needs to process thousands of request concurrently. Therefore, the modern web server needs to meet the following requirements. Handling of thousands of connections simultaneously (significant number of connections may be in idle state as well) Handling high latency connections Request/response handling needs to be decoupled Minimize latency, maximize throughput and avoiding unnecessary CPU cycles Hence, to cater to such requirements, there can be several possibilities in the server application architecture. Having a pool of sockets for each client, and periodically polling them: This is the most straightforward approach; however, it is more or less impractical without non-blocking sockets. This is extremely inefficient and never scales with the increasing number of connections. Thread per socket: This is the conventional approach and was initially used in some applications and this is the only practical solution wi...

A new journey.. A new working place.. WSO2 Inc.

I guess switching blogs is less riskier than switching jobs. Anyway I had to take that risk of switching jobs in last month (12/2009) as I've joined WSO2 as a Senior Software Engineer. My very first job lasted only one and half years owing to various issues I had with the type of work I got during my first employment. However it was a good experience on some rare technologies like Search Engines and Indexing.. and not forgetting C++. Now.. the context has changed.. technologies has changed.. environment has changed... So I believe it's a whole new experience to me to work for WSO2 , which is a renowned Open Source SOA Company. These are my first few steps in the world of SOA and Web Services...
