Altova XMLSpy adds EPUB 2.x support

Altova XMLSpy is an XML editor and XML development environment for modeling, editing, transforming and debugging all XML-based technologies. It allows you to create advanced XML and Web applications and is flexible enough to allow you to work in a way that best suits the complexity of the document. Altova XMLSpy offers a leading XML editor and graphical XML Schema editor, code generation in Java, C#, or C++, file converters, debuggers, profilers, database integration, support for XSLT, XPath, XQuery, WSDL, SOAP, XBRL and Open XML (OOXML), plus Visual Studio and Eclipse plug-ins.

Updates in 2012

• EPUB 2.x support - EPUB (electronic publication) is an open standard for creating and distributing digital publications such as e-books. The files that are encapsulated in the EPUB file are zipped, so EBUB docs open in the XMLSpy Archive View.
• ZIP and OOXML support (Professional Edition) - Allow users to access data in zipped files such as Microsoft Office documents, which, in versions 2007 and higher, is saved in Open Office XML (OOXML) format.
• Support for logical files in IBM iSeries databases - XMLSpy now includes support for logical files specific to IBM iSeries databases.
• Ability to escape/unescape XML characters - Sometimes it’s necessary to escape characters normally parsed as part of XML code to include them as text in an XML document. Now, it’s very simple to do by highlighting the XML in Text View and using the right-click context menu to escape the characters.
