-
XML formatter which takes an XML file and do various operations:
validate,correct,compress,decompress,convert to JSON,minify, andprettify -
Social Network Analyzer which takes the social network data written in XML format from the previous phase and do various operations:
graph visualization,search in posts,get mutual users,most active user,most influencer user, andsuggest friends

Compresscompresses the XML data and shows in output window (.tkf)Decompresstakes compressed data and shows it as prettified XML in output windowSN analyzertakes the valid XML data and goes to the next phase

This figure describes every operation done in this app, when a user wants to perform any operation on XML data the following sequence happens:
- the user type (or open) XML data and press any command button
- the command is sent to the
mainfunction which read the command and direct it to the corresponding handler - the
handleris responsible for ensuring that the given data is compatible with thefeaturefunction, then send the data to the corresponding feature function - the
featurefunction is the core of the program that performs the actual work on the data, then send the result back to thehandler - the
handlersend the response back to theGUIto be displayed to the user
