MINT-scxml

= MINT Statemachine SCXML parser

• http://www.multi-access.de

== DESCRIPTION:

This gem implements all core constucts of the state chart XML (SCXML) specification of the W3C. (http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/)

Instead of implementing an interpreter, this gem implements a parser that create a ruby statemachine instance based on the MINT-statemachine gem (https://github.com/sfeu/statemachine).

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

We currently do not support the definition of a data model. Instead the ruby class that contains the statemachine instance can be used to store data. Conditions can be defined using ruby inside the SCXML definition and member functionc can be called using SCXML script or invoke.

== EXAMPLE:

Parses an SCXML string and creates a statemachine instance in @sm. The messenger object can be used to capture the SCXML log messenges (using the log statement).

@messenger = mock("messenger" )

parser = StatemachineParser.new(nil,@messenger)

scxml = <<EOS

EOS

      @sm = parser.build_from_scxml_string scxml
      @sm.reset

See tests

== REQUIREMENTS:

• Depends on MINT-statemachine gem (https://github.com/sfeu/statemachine)
