1c-mxl-decompile

Decompiling a 1C MXL layout extracts fonts, lines, formats, columns, merges, named items, rows, and area structures into a compact JSON DSL. This avoids working with cumbersome XML and simplifies layout analysis and modification.

The best way to extract areas and styles from a 1C Template.xml is using a dedicated decompiler script. It parses the XML and translates layout elements into a structured JSON DSL, conforming to the mxl-dsl-spec for downstream validation and compilation.

Yes, you can edit an MXL layout and compile it back for 1C Enterprise. The decompile process produces a JSON DSL that supports an edit cycle, enabling downstream /mxl-compile and validation steps to rebuild the modified layout.

Yes, you need to install the lxml dependency to decompile 1C MXL files. This library is required by the decompilation scripts to parse the Template.xml structure and extract the layout data into the JSON DSL format.

You should use a JSON DSL instead of XML when you need to quickly obtain an editable layout definition without handling cumbersome XML. It streamlines AI-assisted development workflows and simplifies the adaptation of cell parameters and merges.
