-====== XML Script ======
+====== EGOML Script ======
 ===== Overview =====
-Any model can be saved as a XML document. The resulting file uses the extension ".xml".
+Any model can be saved as an EGOML document. The resulting file uses the extension ".egoml" (the old extension ".xml" is still supported for backward compatibility). See [[basic_data_flow|Basic Data Flow]] for the execution model shared by EGOML and [[ego_script|EGO Script]]; this page covers the XML notation specifically.
-Below, it is an example of a XML script used to load a map, calculate an image convolution and save the result:
+The EGOML file is an XML document written according to the following DTD; see [[https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_dtd_intro.asp|w3schools' DTD tutorial]] for a good introduction to the DTD description syntax:

-<note tip>
-Using the XML format, it is possible to write incomplete script having functors whose input and output ports are neither bound nor edited. This allows saving models in the first development stages.

-The resulting document is not formated using tabs, spaces or newlines. Those characters are written only when they are inside the definition content, not in the content boundaries.
+==== Elements ====
-The property keys are always fully expanded. There is no property alias as in the [[EGO Script]] format.
+Each element in the DTD corresponds directly to a piece of the underlying functor graph described in [[basic_data_flow|Basic Data Flow]]:
+  * ''script'' is the model as a whole — the root element, holding the model's own properties plus every top-level functor and container.
+  * ''functor'' is a single functor call, identified by its ''name'' attribute (such as ''LoadMap''). It holds its own properties, its input ports, and its output ports.
+  * ''containerfunctor'' is a functor that also holds nested functors and containers — the same element type can nest inside itself, since containers can be placed inside other containers.
+  * ''property'' attaches metadata to whatever element contains it, as a ''key''/''value'' pair. Keys are always written fully expanded — there is no property alias as in the [[ego_script|EGO Script]] format.
+  * ''inputport'' and ''outputport'' are a functor's connection points. An ''outputport'' declares an ''id''; an ''inputport'' elsewhere in the document references that ''id'' through its own ''peerid'' attribute to form a connection — the XML equivalent of two functors sharing a variable name in EGO Script.
+  * ''internalinputport'' and ''internaloutputport'' work the same way, but connect a container to the functors nested inside it, rather than connecting two ordinary functors to each other.
+The DTD defines no equivalent of EGO Script's abbreviated calculator syntax. Every functor in the Calculate family — ''CalculateMap'', ''CalculateLookupTableValues'', and the others — is represented the same way as any other container: its operands are connected through explicit ''NumberMap''/''NumberTable''/''NumberValue'' hook functors, as shown in the ''CalculateMap'' example below. See [[ego_script#calculator_functor_shorthand|Calculator functor shorthand]] for the two syntactic forms EGO Script provides for this same underlying structure.
