Altova XMLSpy is the world's best-selling XML editor for xml modeling, editing, transformation, and debugging and related technologies.
Altova XMLSpy is the world's best-selling XML editor for xml modeling, editing, transformation, and debugging and related technologies. XMLSpy XML Editor provides developers with the tools they need to create the most sophisticated applications with their graphic schema designer, code generation, file converters, debuggers, and profilers to work with XSD, XSLT, XQuery, XBRL, JSON, and more. XMLSpy is powered by RaptorXML for extremely fast XML validation and processing. RaptorXML is also available as a cross-platform server product to power your applications.
XMLSpy Highlights
Developers need an XML editor that adds value beyond bracket matching and basic validation verification. XMLSpy offers smartfix's patented bug fix, a revolutionary process that not only encounters XML validation errors, but also lists possible fixes to fix them, which you can implement with one click. That's right - XMLSpy will make the fixes automatically, based on your selection.
Text visualizations and XML graphics editing
XMLSpy abstracts the complexity of XML editing and related technologies through its intuitive user interface and rich variety of visualizations and options. If you prefer to edit XML documents in a text-based or graphic-based XML viewer, the XML editor provides intelligent guidance and assists in input as you type, and troubleshooting is quick and easy with the XML validator that is more industry-compliant.
XML Schema Editor
The XML Schema graphic editor in XMLSpy lets you create schemas in a visual, drag- and drop way, so you can focus on the semantics of your schema, leaving the syntactic details of the Schema XML language to XMLSpy. In addition to editing and validating XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1.
Editor XSLT
For transformation, seamless integration with installed RaptorXML Servers provides hyper-performance functionality, along with strict compliance with W3C standards, including XSLT, XPath, and XQuery versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.1. This allows you to enjoy super-fast transformations during development and testing, all directly within XMLSpy.
XSLT debugger and Profiler
Testing and perfecting XSLT-style sheets can be a complicated and time-consuming process. With xmlspy xslt debugger, you can debug even the most complex style sheets quickly and easily. Support for XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, and XSLT 3.0 is provided and you can even debug style sheets that contain program code in Java, C#, JavaScript, or VBScript.
XSL Speed Optimizer
XSL Speed Optimizer in xml editor is a revolutionary and patented approach to accelerating XSLT transformations, providing tremendous increases in throughput without the need for manual analysis to determine exactly which XSLT or XPath expressions are causing bottlenecks.
XSLT and XQuery Back Mapping
Mapping back in XMLSpy is revolutionary in two ways. First, it saves developers considerable time in debugging, refining, and improving their code, and understanding legacy code written by other team members. Second, XMLSpy makes no changes or adds additional code to the output document to obtain the return mapping.
XPath Windows / XQuery
The XPath and XQuery window in the XML Editor makes it easy to create and test your XPath/XQuery expressions as you compose them with the built-in Builder and Evaluator windows.
Editor XQuery
To work with large XQuery documents, XMLSpy provides native support for XQuery 1.0 and XQuery 3.1 with all the smart editing functionality needed to edit documents XQuery is a quick and easy way. Support for schema recognition in the XQuery editor enables you to harness all the power of this through mechanisms for error isolation, simplified debugging, and improved code performance.
XPath Debugger / XQuery
The debugger allows you to step-by-step evaluate your XPath or XQuery expression. Each click shows the results for the corresponding step of the evaluation, and you can enter, exit, and go through evaluation steps using useful buttons in the debugger toolbar.
XQuery Update Facility Editor
The results pane lets you view the results of the changes and clicking a result in the preview pane highlights the affected node in your instance document. You can then perform the updates with one click, in the current file or on all open files, a folder, or an entire XMLSpy project. This functionality is unique to XMLSpy.
Editor JSON
XMLSpy includes an intuitive JSON viewer and a JSON editor with support for JSON and JSON5, allowing you to view and edit JSON files using the same Text and Grid Views available for XML editing, with useful edit guides and input helpers.
JSON Schema Editor
Just as XMLSpy pioneered the first XML Schema graphic editor, it now also includes the first JSON Schema graphic editor to accelerate the generation, development, and validation of schemas for developers working with JSON.
Querying and transforming JSON with XPath, XSLT, XQuery
Despite json's growing popularity, there is no widely used language for querying and transforming JSON data. Fortunately, the functionality added to XPath/XQuery 3.1 provides a means of segmenting maps, arrays, and JSON objects, providing a standardized way to query and transform JSON data using these familiar languages.
XBRL Tools
Altova provides comprehensive support for end-to-end XBRL development and reporting, from taxonomy editing in XMLSpy, to high-performance validation on RaptorXML Server, to mapping and data analysis in MapForce, and stylevision multichannel reporting.
XBRL Taxonomy Editor
By organizing different components into easy-to-filter tabs and providing informational icons, mouse messages, detail windows, and context-sensitive input helpers, the XMLSpy XBRL taxonomy editor makes it easy to visualize and understand existing taxonomies and create new ones in ways to extend industry-standard taxonomies.
XBRL editing features include:
WSDL Graphic Editor
WSDL syntax can be complex and writing code manually in a text editor is often difficult and confusing. XMLSpy's unique graphical approach to WSDL design simplifies WSDL development, allowing you to create your WSDL visually, with drag-and-drop functionality and full validation and editing guidance. The full WSDL code is generated behind the scenes based on your graphic design, and you can view and edit the code in text view at any time.
SOAP Client & SOAP Debugger
XMLSpy SOAP Debugger acts as a proxy between a client and web services server, allowing you to inspect WSDL 1.1/2.0 files, a single step through Web services transactions sent over HTTP or HTTPS, inspect each request and response XML document, define breakpoints SOAP functions, and even define conditional breakpoints that are triggered when a particular request or response contains selected data that is specified through an XPath query. In this way, the SOAP debugger helps you quickly and easily identify and fix errors.
