XML EDITOR





TEXT AND GRAPHICAL XML EDITING VIEWS


XMLSpy abstracts away the complexity of editing XML and related technologies
through its intuitive user interface and rich variety of views and options.
Whether you prefer to edit XML documents in a text-based or graphical XML
viewer, XMLSpy provides intelligent guidance and entry-helpers as you type, and
troubleshooting is fast and easy with the industry's most standards-conformant
XML validator.


XML GRID VIEW




XML Grid View displays the XML document structure using a set of nested
containers that reflects its hierarchical structure. It also includes table view
that rearranges repeating elements in a table for easy viewing and sorting. By
default, XML Grid View uses attributes and child elements for the columns, and
shows repeating XML element as row - but you can flip rows and columns to adapt
the display based on the type of data the file.

XML Grid makes XML editing faster and more powerful than when using a text
editor alone. Advanced features include:

 * Automatic image display
 * Easy creation of XPath filters
 * XQuery formulas to calculate a result or generate a nodeset
 * Pasting content from external apps (text editor, Visual Studio/Eclipse,
   Excel...)
 * Customizable grouping of nodes for very large XML files

XML Grid will revolutionize the way you edit XML documents. Take a look at this
quick video demo.

Watch the XML Grid Demo


XML TEXT VIEW




As you work, XMLSpy provides Smart Fix XML validation, a process that detects
errors - and then enumerates the possible corrections for fixing them, which you
can choose to implement in your XML document with one click. That's right -
XMLSpy will make the corrections automatically, based on your selection. Because
the XML validator can make the corrections automatically, it saves you
significant time and frustration associated with resolving validation issues.




XML SCHEMA EDITOR




The graphical XML Schema editor in XMLSpy allows you to create schemas in a
visual, drag-and-drop manner, so you can focus on the semantics of your schema
while leaving the syntactical details of the XML Schema language to XMLSpy. In
addition to rich XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1 editing and validation, the following
XSD tools are provided:

 * Generation of XSD from XML instance, DTD, JSON Schema, or relational
   databases
 * Sample instance generation from XSD
 * Java, C#, and C++ code generation based on XML Schema
 * Schema flattener and schema subset generation
 * Extended validation of naming & coding conventions
 * Schema refactoring

JSON TOOLS




XMLSpy includes an intuitive JSON viewer and JSON editor with support for JSON,
JSON5, JSON Lines, and JSON Comments, allowing you to view and edit JSON files
using the same intuitive Text and Grid Views available for XML editing, with
useful editing guides and entry helpers. The JSON editor provides:

 * Revolutionary JSON Grid editor
 * Support for JSON, JSON5, JSON Lines, JSON with Comments (JSONC)
 * Context sensitive entry-helpers and other intelligent editing tools
 * JSON syntax checking
 * JSON validator
 * JSON to XML conversion
 * XML to JSON conversion
 * Querying/transforming JSON with XPath, XQuery, XSLT
 * Chart creation from JSON data


JSON EDITOR: GRID VIEW


A revolutionary, first-of-its-kind JSON editing environment is provided by
XMLSpy JSON Grid View. JSON Grid provides a graphical representation of the JSON
document structure that is immediately easier to understand than the
corresponding JSON code in text view, especially for long, complex documents
with multiple nested levels of arrays and objects. Advanced features such as
automatic type detection, in-cell commands, XQuery filters for modifying the
view, XQuery formulas for generating additional output from the JSON data, and
more, combine to make JSON editing faster and easier than a text-based JSON
editor. JSON Grid even allows you to create charts from JSON data.



Watch the JSON Grid Demo


JSON CHARTS


In addition to utilizing XQuery for filters and formulas in JSON Grid, you can
use it to create charts from numerical JSON data.



After configuring a chart function, the save icon embeds the chart in the JSON
file as a base-64 encoded image. Or, simply right-click on the chart to save it
in an image file such as .png or .jpg.

No other JSON editor offers anything even close to this functionality!


JSON SCHEMA EDITOR




Just as XMLSpy pioneered the first graphical XML Schema editor, it now also
includes the first enterprise-grade, graphical JSON Schema editor to greatly
speed schema generation, development, and validation for developers working with
JSON.

JSON Schema View will be immediately familiar to XMLSpy customers who’ve used
XML Schema View and are now learning to design JSON Schemas, while at the same
time being easy to comprehend for new users. Use the JSON Schema editor for:

 * Drag-and-drop JSON Schema editing & validation
 * XML Schema <=> JSON Schema conversion
 * Generation of JSON instance files from JSON Schema
 * JSON Schema documentation generation

The JSON Schema editor supports BSON (binary JSON) datatypes used in NoSQL
databases such as MongoDB.


QUERYING & TRANSFORMING JSON WITH XPATH, XSLT, XQUERY


Despite the growing popularity of JSON, there isn't a widely used language for
querying and transforming JSON data. Luckily, functionality added to
XPath/XQuery 3.1 provides a means for targeting JSON maps, arrays, and objects,
offering a standardized way to query and transform JSON data using these
familiar languages.

XMLSpy makes it easy to process JSON documents with XPath, XSLT, and XQuery
using intelligent editors and the interactive XPath/XQuery Builder & Evaluator
Window. Functionality includes:

 * Querying JSON documents with XPath 3.1 or XQuery 3.1 in the XPath/XQuery
   window
 * Transforming JSON documents with an XSLT 3.0 or XQuery 3.1 file



Learn How to Query JSON with XSLT and XPath/XQuery


XSL AND XSLT TOOLS





XSLT EDITOR


The JSON and XML Editor provides complete support for XSL and XSLT development
in its XSLT editor with context-sensitive entry helpers, an XSL outline window,
and more.

For transformation, seamless integration with installed RaptorXML Servers
delivers hyper-performance functionality coupled with strict conformance to W3C
standards, including XSLT, XPath, and XQuery versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.1. This
allows you to take advantage of super-fast transformations during development
and testing, all directly inside XMLSpy.

XMLSpy even includes intelligent HTML / HTML5 and CSS / CSS3 editors along with
an integrated browser view.


XSLT DEBUGGER AND PROFILER


Testing and perfecting XSLT stylesheets can be a complicated, time-consuming
process. With the XMLSpy XSLT debugger, you can step through and debug even the
most intricate stylesheets quickly and easily. Support for XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0,
and XSLT 3.0 is provided, and you can even debug stylesheets that contain
program code in Java, C#, JavaScript, or VBScript.



The XMLSpy XSLT profiler is an invaluable tool for optimizing the performance of
your XSLT code. Based on the information revealed by the XSLT profiler, you can
immediately see which parts of your XSLT code are taking the most time to
process and adjust them accordingly to fully optimize your XSLT stylesheets.


XSL SPEED OPTIMIZER


The XSLT profiler delivers important information for expert XSLT developers, but
if you want to speed up XSLT execution time without manually changing your XSLT
and XPath code, try the XSL Speed Optimizer.

The XSL Speed Optimizer in XMLSpy is a revolutionary, patented approach to
speeding up XSLT transformations, providing tremendous increases in throughput
with no manual analysis required to determine exactly which XSLT or XPath
expressions are causing bottlenecks.


XSLT AND XQUERY BACK-MAPPING




Because XSLT and XQuery documents are frequently long and complex, it can be
difficult to identify the source of unintended output. For targeted debugging,
back-mapping makes it easy to immediately correlate output elements to source
nodes and instructions.

With back-mapping enabled, XSLT transformations and XQuery executions are
carried out so that the result document can be mapped back on to the originating
XSLT+XML or XQuery+XML documents. When you click on a node in the result
document, the XSLT instruction and the XML source data that generated that
particular result node will be highlighted.

Back-mapping in XMLSpy is revolutionary in two ways. First, it saves developers
considerable time in debugging, refining, and perfecting their code as well as
understanding inherited code written by other team members. Second, XMLSpy does
not make any changes or add additional code to the output document in order to
achieve back-mapping.

XPATH AND XQUERY TOOLS





XPATH/XQUERY WINDOWS

The XPath and XQuery window makes it easy to build and test your XPath/XQuery
expressions as you compose them with built-in Builder and Evaluator windows.
Helpful functionality to speed development is provided through:

 * XPath builder and tester
 * XQuery builder and tester
 * Point-and-click expression building
 * Mouse over hints
 * Enhanced entry helpers
 * Ready to use code snippets
 * Nine tabs for incremental expression building

Watch this demo of XPath editing and testing tools in XMLSpy


XQUERY EDITOR


For working with large XQuery documents, XMLSpy provides native support for
XQuery 1.0 and XQuery 3.1 with all the intelligent editing functionality you
need to edit XQuery documents quickly and easily. Support for schema-awareness
in the XQuery editor allows you to harness the full power of XQuery through
mechanisms for error isolation, simplified debugging, and enhanced code
performance.


XPATH/XQUERY DEBUGGER


The powerful XPath and XQuery window also includes a powerful Debugger for
testing, troubleshooting, and perfecting your XPath/XQuery to save time and
reduce frustration.

The debugger lets you go step-by-step through the evaluation of your XPath or
XQuery expression. Each click shows you the results for the corresponding step
of the evaluation, and you can step into, step out, and step over evaluation
steps using helpful buttons in the debugger toolbar.



An advanced XQuery Profiler is also provided, helping you analyze and optimize
your XQuery code performance.


XQUERY BACK-MAPPING


Targeted debugging is also provided via XQuery back-mapping.


XQUERY UPDATE FACILITY EDITOR


The XPath/XQuery window in the XML Editor also supports editing XQuery Update
(XQU) Facility 1.0 and 3.0 statements with advanced functionality for composing
XQuery Update Facility expressions with full syntax coloring, intelligent code
completion, and error message reporting.

The results pane lets you preview the results of the changes, and clicking on a
result in the preview pane highlights the affected node in your instance
document. Then, you can execute the updates with one click, either in the
current file or across all open files, a folder, or an entire XMLSpy project.
This functionality is unique to XMLSpy.

Watch the XQuery Update Facility Editor in action


COMPARE JSON AND XML DOCUMENTS


XMLSpy includes powerful diff/merge tools to compare JSON documents and other
text files, as well as directories. For file comparisons, 2- and 3-way
comparisons are supported. Users can edit documents and merge changes in either
direction.


COMPARE XML


For XML comparisions, the XMLSpy XML editor includes includes a visual XML
compare tool that allows developers to easily compare XML and merge documents
and directories in an intelligent, XML-aware manner.

The XML-aware diff/merge options are completely customizable. For example, you
can specify if entities should be resolved, if namespace prefixes, whitespace,
CDATA, processing instructions, comments, or the ordering of attributes/child
elements should be ignored or not, and how to visualize differences. In
addition, you can merge the textual differences and differences in XML between
files as you are comparing them.

XBRL TOOLS




Altova provides comprehensive support for end-to-end XBRL development and report
generation, from taxonomy editing in XMLSpy, to high-performance validation on
RaptorXML Server, to data mapping and analysis in MapForce, to multi-channel
report generation StyleVision.


XBRL TAXONOMY EDITOR


The XMLSpy XBRL taxonomy editor provides a graphical view of XBRL taxonomies and
intelligent taxonomy editing features.

By organizing different components on easy-to-filter tabs and providing
informative icons, mouseover messages, detail windows, and context-sensitive
entry helpers, the XMLSpy XBRL taxonomy editor makes it easy to both view and
understand existing taxonomies, and create new ones by way of extending
industry-standard taxonomies.

It even includes the handy XBRL Taxonomy Wizard to give you a head start when
extending or creating a new XBRL taxonomy.

XBRL editing features include:

 * Graphical XBRL taxonomy view
 * Support for XBRL 2.1, XBRL Dimensions, and XBRL Formula
 * XBRL Table Linkbase editing and execution
 * Context-sensitive XBRL tabs and entry helpers
 * XBRL Taxonomy Wizard for extending US-GAAP or IFRS
 * XBRL taxonomy documentation generation
 * XBRL taxonomy and instance validation


XULE EDITOR AND PROCESSOR


The XULE processor and validator in XMLSpy processes XULE expressions against an
XBRL instance document, as well as providing validation of XULE documents for
correct syntax according to the XULE spec.



XMLSpy includes the industry’s first interactive XULE editor. XULE editing is
supported both in Text View and a specialized XULE window, shown above. Both
editing views guide users with syntax help, code completion, and other helpful
features that make it easy to write and test XULE expressions. As you work, auto
completion values are based both on XULE syntax and the structure of the
selected XBRL taxonomy, if applicable. Learn more about the powerful XULE
editor.


OPEN INFORMATION MODEL (OIM) 1.0 TOOLS


OIM (Open Information Model) provides a syntax-independent model for XBRL data
to be transformed into other formats such as CSV and JSON. Though XBRL provides
an efficient, standards-based representation of business report data, such data
is often stored and/or consumed in other formats. OIM is an abstraction layer
that decouples XBRL from the underlying XML syntax: this way, organizations can
take advantage of the functionality of XBRL and at the same time have XBRL
documents written in JSON and/or CSV.



XMLSpy is one of the very first XBRL tools to support OIM with support for
validation of reports in XML, JSON, and CSV, as well as one-click conversion
between those formats.

WSDL & SOAP TOOLS





GRAPHICAL WSDL EDITOR


WSDL syntax can be complex, and writing the code by hand in a text-only editor
is often difficult and confusing. XMLSpy’s unique graphical approach to WSDL
design simplifies WSDL development by allowing you to build your WSDL visually,
with drag-and-drop functionality and full validation and editing guidance.
Complete WSDL code is generated behind the scenes based on your graphical
design, and you can view and edit the code in Text View at any time.

Auto-generation of comprehensive WSDL documentation is also supported.


SOAP CLIENT & SOAP DEBUGGER




XMLSpy offers full SOAP 1.2 and 1.1 capabilities including a SOAP client for
interpreting WSDL documents, creating SOAP requests, submitting them to a Web
service, and viewing the SOAP response.

The XMLSpy SOAP Debugger acts as a proxy between a Web services client and
server, allowing you to inspect WSDL 1.1/2.0 files, single-step through Web
services transactions sent over HTTP or HTTPS, inspect every request and
response XML document, set breakpoints on SOAP functions and even define
conditional breakpoints that trigger when a certain request or response contains
selected data that is specified by means of an XPath query.

In this way, the SOAP Debugger helps you identify and fix errors quickly and
easily.


DATABASE INTEGRATION




Powerful relational database integration in XMLSpy helps reduce interoperability
challenges by allowing you to easily query SQL databases and convert back and
forth between databases and XML files.
