XML Data mapper

Introduction

XML Data mapper module allows users to implement a data transformation from one format defined by a source xsd to a format defined by a target xsd, and create xsl documents in a data transformation defined in VulCon. The use of graphics speeds up the process of defining the mapping of data, and give it a simple and efficient graphical representation.
