Hi,
Which is the best PDF generator/library, with the following requirements:
* Threadsafe (is there one which does not use the VCL at all?)
* Possible to draw/import EMF
* Really really really fast (100s of 1-2 page PDFs per second on a 4+ core
server)
* Source code available
Best regards,
Johan

Maybe JSON is what you are looking for: easy to implement,
human-readable, light-weight, cross-language and cross-platform, at
least three Delphi implementations available.
I use it in my Delphi components for object exchange with Java for
example, the Delphi JSON-based object will be received as a true Java

Delphi equivalent of Google Protocol Buffers

Google released their Protocol Buffers
([link]). The general idea sounds rather
good; a easy to build and use, quick to parse, binary data format for
simple objects that is platform and technology agnostic. But at the
same time, the idea sounds so simple, I wonder if hasn't already been

I'm looking for a TIFF image class that inherits from TGraphic and can be

Do you know of any?

Re: Any body compared the speeds of NativeXml and OpenXml?

I'm not aware of OpenXML, but NativeXML was modified to use a buffered read and
write stream after I commented on it being a little slower than the TurboPower one.
After which change it was almost instant, and has worked well (in DOM mode) for me
ever since. It is a nice implementation as it can store the Delphi native types in

DBMaster - Database tool

sandeep_...@yahoo.com (Sandeep Chandra) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:54:34 UT

We have uploaded some demo videos of DBMaster on [link].
DBMaster is a database tool which allows you to work with multiple
databases. It has a command language which makes doing some tasks
easier. We have been using this tool internally for 6 months now.
It is still in beta and there are still some oddities.

NativeXML supports the DOM model as well. You just call LoadFromStream (or from file) and all the nodes are in memory as NativeXML objects representing nodes and attributes.

Raise your prices. You have excellent products that, IMO, are
undervalued. Don't go crazy though. :-)
I'd rather speed/quality/price, pick any two. I'll take quality and
price. I would rather the code quality and stability from you than
rolling the dice with someone else.

I'm no xml expert but I think the main differences are that NativeXML is a SAX
