'''EDXL Sharp''' is a C# / .NET 3.5 implementation of the OASIS Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) family of standards. The purpose of these libraries is to allow developers to: * Parse EDXL Messages from a string or underlying stream * Programmatically create EDXL messages * Validate EDXL Messages to the schema * Validate that EDXL Messages conform to the additional business rules specified in the standards documentation * Write EDXL messages to a string or underlying stream

== About the project == EDXL Sharp is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license and is part of a collaborative research project of The MITRE Corporation.
