A ddot.it reader for XML files, including pom.xml (Maven) and other XML-based formats. It recognizes triples in comments and string values.

Some examples use the ddot.it/this command.

Standard Syntax

Comments

<!-- ddot.it/this ..project.. Code Red -->

Multi-line comment:

<!--
ddot.it/this ..project.. Code Red
..team.. Platform
-->

String Values

Ddot.it triples inside element text content:

<description>ddot.it/this ..project.. Code Red</description>

Extra Syntax

Maven pom.xml

In pom.xml files, the <description> element and XML comments are the natural places for ddot.it triples.

<project>
  <description>
    ddot.it/this ..type.. library
    ..team.. Platform
  </description>

  <!-- ddot.it/this ..status.. active -->
</project>

The description is even published to places like Sonatype, where other tools can discover it and extract triples from there. Ddot.it works everywhere.
