OmniMark

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OmniMark is a fourth-generation programming language used mostly in the publishing business.

[edit] Usage

OmniMark is used to convert data from one format to another. In many respects it is similar to the Perl language. It has a built-in XML parser, which has made it popular. It also has features to process regular expressions. Its syntax is English-like and hence it is easy to understand. Although it is Perl's competitor, Perl and the Ruby programming language are more widely used than OmniMark, because they are open source and freely distributed.
