What does XMLSpy do? How well does it do?
# XML Spy is the industry standard XML development environment. It supports modelling, transforming, anti bugging all XML related technologies from XML schema and DTDs, to XPath and XSLT, to SOAP and WSDL, to XQL and beyond. In addition to its many views and option for increasing the XML development, XMLSpy supports automatic core generation, database interaction and full integration with both visual studio.net and eclipse. With the help of XML Spy, developers can easily define XML Schemas and Construct XML documents with less effort, and then automatically generate runtime code in multiple programming languages for use in XML-based application. The XML editor delivers the power that is required for creating the most advanced XML and Web applications. In additional, it is flexible enough to work with any XML technology in a way that best suits the complexity of the documents. Such as if developers prefer to develop in a text view or a graphical view or even switch back and forth between the two. Below is the figure of XML editing in XMLSpy:
When we need to create a new document in XMLSpy, we simple choose the type of file required. Such as XSD, XSLT, Xquery, XBLR, etc. It helps developer to make sure that they create a valid document by automatically starting the file with the porper inclusions, file extension and entry helpers. Below are some of the strong features available in XMLSpy:
- XML Schema and DTD-based XML validation
- Multi-tabbed validation window for searching over multiple files
- Context-sensitive entry helpers
- Powerful conversion utilities
- Instant transformation of XML documents
- XML design, editing, validation and well-formedness checking
- SOAP client and debugger
- Support for all major relational databases
- Graphical WSDL editor
- XML-aware file and directory differencing/merging
- Project management capabilities
- WebDAV client interface support.
Its unique combination of power and ease-of-use has made it the world’s leading XML development environment. It performs the task very deliberately. Due to its exceptional benefits, it facilitates developer’s life. Below are some merits of implementing XML Spy:
· It transports all the power that developers require to create the most advanced XML applications. In additional, its flexible nature makes easy to work with XML.
· By its intuitive user interface and powerful XML design, editing and debugging capabilities, it increases developer productivity significantly while decreasing the occurrence of errors. This allows developers to produce higher quality applications faster.
· It includes advanced compliance with XML-related standards including the important new XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0 and XQuery specifications from the W3C.
· It accelerated XML development, lowers costs and enables the creation of the highest quality software, delivering exceptional value.
There are many benefits of using XMLSpy but overall it speeds XML development, lowers costs, and enables the creation of the highest quality software, delivering exceptional value to any organization.
