A problem all solvers face is the non-uniform
output from the solver. We are constantly faced with reading a text
file, that is not always the same depending
on feasibility, and trying to extract the results. I've
been amazed that nobody has built an XML output from any commercial or open source solver
so standard XML parsing routines are
available for extracting and recording the results. I would like to see an
XML output option to aid in application
integration.
Something
like:
glpsol --model
input.mod --xmlout result.xml
Unfortunately my
languages don't include C or I would offer to help in this
matter.
