A small django web-api wrapper for JavaRosa's XForm Jar tools
The tools are form_translate.jar and javarosa-xform-validator.jar.
This is used to interact with the java-based XForm tool that lets you
validate XForms and get readable XForms.
This app provides a basic API to the form translate jar utility file.
The API is:
POST
{"xform": <XFORM_BODY_GOES_HERE>}
RESPONSE
A json response with the following structure:
{
"success": <our best guess as to whether it succeeded>
"outstring": <the jar's output to stdout, if any>
"errstring": <the jar's output to stderr, if any>
}
The following services are available endpoints:
/formtranslate/validate - validate an xform (errors will be in errstring)
/formtranslate/readable - get a readable copy of the xform (will be in outstring)
/formtranslate/csv - get the csv translation file for the form (will be in outstring)
/formtranslate/xsd - get the xsd file for the form (will be in outstring)
There's also a reference implementation of the UI available at
/formtranslate/
The latest form_translate.jar is available at

KNOWN ISSUES:
Certain malformed forms crash it.
