WebQL

WebQL powers the entire QL2 On Demand Platform. WebQL is a patented query language that extends ANSI-standard SQL to extract unstructured and semi-structured data. WebQL is designed for:

• Unstructured, uncontrolled data: WebQL is designed to collect and organize data from websites and other complex network environments where navigation and semi-structured document manipulation are critical.
• Efficiency: WebQL operates within a small technical footprint and is unobtrusive to the data sources it accesses.
• Simplicity: With a few lines of code written by a moderately skilled developer, WebQL can accomplish the same as a Java engineer using hundreds of lines of code.
