CSP Compiler

CServer Page (CSP) is a dynamic markup language for creating web pages. The CSP markup is baised on XML and is common to JSP. This CSP compiler compiles the CSP markup language to C++ source code that is then compiled to CGI script by using g++ compiler.

Web pages that are designed with CSP consist of files that are called csp fragments. It's recommend to give .cspf suffix for these files.

A typical web page that is constructed by CSP looks like:

<csp:page contentType="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" />
<csp:page import="course.hh" />
<csp:page import="student.hh" />

<csp:include file="header.cspf" />

<table>
    <caption>Test results</caption>
    <thead>
        <th>Student id</th>
        <th>Points</th>
    </thead>
    <csp:foreach var="Student stud" items="cpp_course.students">
        <tr>
            <td>${stud.id}</td>
            <td>${stud.points}</td>
        </tr>
    </csp:foreach>
</table>

<csp:include file="footer.cspf" />

A command-line call csp source.cspf [-o <output>] outputs the out.cc C++ source file, which is further compiled to out.csp. The out.csp is an executable that can be run as a CGI script.
