Main Routine Structures
All of our main routines will be similar, but they will fall into two distinct types. One type will convert non-XML formats to XML, and the other will convert XML to non-XML formats. Aside from this, we'll code the main processing logic as callable functions and the main routines that handle command line processing as basic shells. This strategy gives us the option to not only create stand-alone utilities for now but also to build later an integrated system that calls all the functions from one main routine.
