Re: [Freeswitch-users] VxML Parser?
Doug, Welcome to FreeSWITCH! BTW, I owe you a thank you because I first heard of FS from one of your posts to the asterisk users list. :) FS is definitely designed to be extensible. In fact, one night when Tony was ticked off about a post earlier in the day, he whipped up mod_yaml in three hours! However, I don't believe anyone has yet sung the virtues of VXML to the point of imploring the devs to add it, nor has anyone put up a bounty. My guess is that VXML would be added at some point. It will happen more quickly if Tony doesn't have to do it gratis if know what I mean. Hey are you still a Python guy? Just curious if you have played with mod_python or wikipbx yet. -MC Sent from my iPhone On Nov 2, 2008, at 1:15 PM, Douglas Garstang <dougmig33@yahoo.com> wrote:

I have developers that want to write voice applications directly in vxml. They want to use vxml, not js, lua, python or anything else. That's a hard requirement.
I'm surprised freeswitch doesn't have this available. Being able to rapidly deploy voice applications with vxml doesn't seem like an unusual requirement.

Quick answer, it's a switch/b2bua and not a vxml parser.
Longer answer involves questions about what you are trying to do.
If you need quick voice apps, check out the many options including js, lua, python, liverpie, etc. It is a rich set of options and much of this may be more appropriate / productive than full vxml dependent on requirements.
If you have a hard requirement / need for vxml might check out voiceglue.org. This is an asterisk related project, but in theory and with some effort who knows.

I am just an observer of FS. What I am impressed with is the extensibility. And I am curious about xml models (vxml, proprietary xml) vs scripting (lua, python, etc). That is why I asked. That said, sounds like the pieces are all waiting for the right motivation and resource set. I can't rule out helping, but can't promise much yet either. Lastly, curious about the "not very good" part or your response. Is this a reference to OpenVXI or one of it's derivatives? (and wikipbx does look cool....)

I'm sure they're all possible, but it's a matter of supply and demand. Demand has thus far been very low for things like VXML so the supply hasn't been established, at least not yet. If enough people want it then it will definitely happen. Critical mass and all that.
That said, sounds like the pieces are all waiting for the right motivation and resource set. I can't rule out helping, but can't promise much yet either.
Well said. We hope you can help out, even if it's just by using the software and offering feedback.
Lastly, curious about the "not very good" part or your response. Is this a reference to OpenVXI or one of it's derivatives?

If you like that then check out tcapi.org. :) -MC
