Abstract
In order to adapt different languages and platforms, the paper discusses how to process and validate IDL symbol table and intermediate code by XML API. It puts emphasis on IDL API extension towards DOM API based on the idea of combining XML with IDL compilers. At last, the IDL compiler designing framework based on XML API is given, in which compiler front end can be managed and validated by some XML techniques and tools, IDL API can be validated on the basis of test, so IDL intermediate code is provided with maintainability, portability and generation. IDL compiler can be developed and extended by XML-based API, which realizes versatility and portability of modern compiler.
