How it Works
SourcePro® Core contains an extensive set of fundamental and advanced C++ components that handle many of the intricacies of the C++ language and provides a complete framework for the internationalization and localization of applications targeted for the global market. SourcePro Core also helps developers create C++ applications that share data with diverse systems by simplifying the complexities of working with XML.
SourcePro® DB provides a complete solution for relational database access in C++. SourcePro DB has an object-oriented interface that abstracts the complexity of writing database applications, yet allows developers to drill down to the native database client libraries if needed. SourcePro DB encapsulates ANSI SQL 92 and provides a consistent, high-level C++ interface to relational databases which speeds development and reduces complexity. SourcePro DB has a layered architecture made up of the database-independent Interface Module and a variety of database-specific Access Modules. The layered architecture allows developers to write programs that are reusable with different types of databases. This frees developers from having to understand the details associated with a particular database vendor's API. SourcePro DB provides direct access to Oracle®, Sybase®, DB2®, Microsoft SQL Server™ for Windows® and UNIX, MySQL® database server and PostgresSQL server.
SourcePro® Net simplifies the creation of secure or non-secure networked and Internet-enabled applications by handling the granular details of socket programming and Internet protocols, which allows developers to deliver quality applications on schedule. Designed with a layered architecture, SourcePro Net gives developers the flexibility to choose the level of abstraction appropriate for their application. Developers can use the most abstract layer for ease of use, or can access the protocol layer if they need finer control over critical details.
SourcePro® Analysis contains a wide range of C++ components for solving mathematical problems in business and research. Developers can rely on the algorithms in SourcePro Analysis for accurate, precise calculations that allow them to focus on building appropriate data models.
