What's new in XMLSpy 2012 Release 2?

• EPUB 2.x support - EPUB (electronic publication) is an open standard from the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) 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. Here, they can be validated, and the included files can be added, opened, edited, and/or deleted. EPUB files are validated directly inside XMLSpy using http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck, which checks for OCF container structure, OPF and OPS mark-up, and internal reference consistency. With built in validation and support for editing XML, XHTML, CSS, and other Web standards, XMLSpy is a great choice for creating and working with EPUB content.
• ZIP and OOXML support in Professional Edition - Starting with v2012r2, XMLSpy Professional Edition includes the Archive View for working with OOXML files and other zipped archives, functionality that was previously only available in the Enterprise Edition. This support allows 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.

What’s new in Altova XMLSpy 2012?

• HTML5 support - XMLSpy has long supported HTML4 and XHTML editing, and even includes an intelligent CSS editor. Now, with Version 2012, XMLSpy introduces intelligent support for editing HTML5 code and CSS3 stylesheets. It’s easy to write code in the XMLSpy HTML5 editor, which provides context sensitive editing help in both static entry helper windows and drop-down menus that offer allowed element and attribute choices as you type. Code completion also helps speed editing and ensure closed elements. As you’re working, the integrated Browser preview in XMLSpy lets you opt to view your HTML code and the resulting Web page side-by-side, so you can see the results of your edits immediately. In addition to viewing the Web page in XMLSpy, you can instantly open the active file in your choice of browser. The XMLSpy Info window will list all browsers currently installed on your system, and you can manually add other applications if required. To view a file in a particular browser, simply double click it. For example, double-clicking Google Chrome opens an instance of Chrome and loads the active HTML document. This is much quicker than manually opening the HTML file in multiple browsers as you test compatibility.
• CSS3 support - The XMLSpy CSS editor now supports CSS3 in addition to CSS2.1. Syntax coloring, context-sensitive entry helper windows and drop-down menus, screen tips, and more assist developers with writing CSS code to style their HTML pages. Similar to working in the HTML editor, you can opt to view your CSS code and resulting HTML page side-by-side as you edit.
• JDBC database driver support - As with other database-enabled MissionKit tools, XMLSpy 2012 supports JDBC drivers in addition to existing ODBC and ADO options. JDBC connections are easily configured in the Database Connection Wizard.
• Java API - In addition to the existing COM API, XMLSpy 2012 includes a new, native Java API, giving Java developers an easy way to automate XMLSpy and integrate its functionality in their applications. This adds more flexible options for developers to efficiently access XMLSpy functionality from their preferred platform.
• New samples for API use - As with other MissionKit tools that include a COM API and the new Java API, XMLSpy 2012 ships with code samples in JScript, C#, and Java to demonstrate how to utilize an API to automate XMLSpy from different development environments.
• Find in Project - The power of the Find in Files and Find in Schemas functionality in XMLSpy has now been extended to XMLSpy Projects: simply enter the name of files(s) you need to find, and XMLSpy will locate them instantly. This makes working with even the most complex projects that much easier and efficient.

What’s new in XMLSpy v2011?

Chart creation - Enterprise only
Chart creation in XMLSpy 2011 brings a whole new dimension to working with XML data. XMLSpy 2011 makes it easy to create eye-catching, compelling charts for displaying XML data. Now you can visualize and analyze numerical XML data – and XBRL data – directly inside XMLSpy with just a few clicks. No more exporting to Excel. The following types of charts are available:

• 2D & 3D pie charts
• 2D & 3D bar charts
• Category line graphs
• Value line graphs
• Gauge charts

You can create up to nine different charts on the available tabs in the Output Window, and you can save each as a custom-sized image file with just a click or print it directly from XMLSpy. You can also copy it to your clipboard to paste it in another application, such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. What’s more, you can copy the XSLT or XQuery code to create the chart to the clipboard for use in your own stylesheet or application.

Validation of SOAP against WSDL - Enterprise only
This new feature will be very useful for Web services developers, as it allows them to ensure their SOAP messages are valid against the SOAP specification as well as any XML Schemas referenced in the corresponding WSDL definition.

Schema flattener -Enterprise and Professional
The new Schema Flattener in XMLSpy 2011 allows schema designers to write all the dependent files that are included in a schema into one file. This way, you can use the flattened schema without having to rely on a network connection to access the required files. This could be especially important when shipping a schema within an application.

Creation of schema from subset - Enterprise and Professional
In addition to flattening schemas, XMLSpy 2011 allows you to create a schema from a subset of a larger schema. Many schemas are quite large and contain more types and elements than are required for a particular application or information exchange. Furthermore, the larger a schema is, the longer loading and validation may take. The ability to create a new schema from a subset means a developer can select some global elements or types from a large schema to create a smaller one, using just the elements required. This feature is especially useful for working with NIEM information exchanges, but has also been requested by other users for a variety of applications.

Altova XMLSpy includes English, German, Spanish editions. Altova XMLSpy delivers all the power you need to create advanced XML applications, yet at the same time it’s flexible enough to allow you to work with XML using the views and options that best suit your business needs and working preferences. Altova XMLSpy increases productivity by allowing you to develop higher-quality, standards-conformant XML-based applications more quickly than ever before.

Altova XMLSpy abstracts away the complexity of working with XML-based technologies through its intuitive user interface and rich variety of editing views and options. Five synchronized editing views allow you to work with any XML technology in a way that best suits the complexity of the document and your preferences, for instance, if you prefer to develop in a text view, graphical view, or switch back and forth between the two.

The intelligent editing features of Altova XMLSpy support auto completion, context sensitive syntax help, entry helpers, syntax coloring, and more to aid you in creating valid XML documents. Altova XMLSpy views and intelligent editing functions are designed to make working with documents as easy as possible. When working with XML is easy, productivity increases, saving money and decreasing time-to-market for your applications.

Develop Advanced XML Applications
In addition to its powerful XML modeling, editing, validation, and debugging capabilities, Altova XMLSpy supports the complementary technologies required to build advanced XML-based applications. Because XML documents must be bound to an external software application or runtime environment, Altova XMLSpy includes automatic code generation of Java, C++, or C# class files based on data elements defined in a schema.

Altova XMLSpy is the only tool on the market that lets you tackle Web services development on all of the major Web services platforms, including Microsoft .NET, J2EE, and Eclipse. Support for integration with Microsoft Visual Studio.NET and Eclipse allows you to seamlessly access the powerful Altova XMLSpy features from within your choice of multi-purpose development environment. You can also access many of the powerful Altova XMLSpy functions in a programmatic way using the Java or COM systems integration API.

In addition, most advanced applications require interaction with relational databases, Altova XMLSpy supports the most popular relational databases in their native interface languages, allowing you to generate XML Schemas based on database structures, import and export database data and generate relational database schemas from XML Schemas.
