Abstract
A novel method and system for representing a high-level programming language data structure in a mark-up language is provided, in which each variable of data structure is represented as a mark-up language element. The nesting of the elements represents the hierarchical relationship among the variables. Each element includes the name of the variable represented by the element and the type of the variable. The variable name may be included as the tag name, and the variable type may be included as an attribute. Additionally, a default value for the variable may be included as an attribute. Finally, comments to be included in the resulting high-level language source code may be represented in the body of the element.
