Altova MissionKit Enterprise Edition 2021

Altova XMLSpy Enterprise XML Editor

• XBRL Taxonomy Manager - The XBRL Taxonomy Manager allows you to:
  • View XBRL taxonomies installed on your computer and check whether new versions are available for download.
  • Install or uninstall any of the multiple versions of a given taxonomy (or all versions if necessary). Dependent taxonomies are also installed or removed automatically.
  • Download newer versions of XBRL taxonomies as soon as they become available, independently of the Altova product release cycle.
• COVID-19 related taxonomy updates - In response to measures related to the COVID-19 crisis, the European Banking Authority has issued updated reporting and disclosure requirements. These are designed to accommodate, for instance, emergency legislation on pausing loan repayment schedules and the resulting impact on financial institutions. As such, the corresponding local XBRL taxonomies for reporting to the EBA have been updated with these temporary changes. The XBRL Taxonomy Manager (described above) includes these updated taxonomies.
• Multiple improvements to JSON Grid View - The new JSON Grid View introduced in XMLSpy 2020 has received some updates and enhancements in this newest version. These include:
  • New entry helper windows: siblings, children, values.
  • New copy/paste options including:
    • Copy as JSON text.
    • Copy as structured text (TSV).
    • Copy as image.
    • Copy XPath.
    • Copy JSON Pointer.
  • Mouse-over tool tips to help users take advantage of grid view features.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for expanding/collapsing sections, zooming in and out.

  • Option to group sibling nodes by 100, 1000, or 10K for very large files.
• Improved support for JSON $id - The JSON $id property provides a unique identifier for a JSON Schema and is often used when combining multiple smaller schemas. XMLSpy now supports $id during schema validation.
• New Altova extension functions to retrieve schema-related info - To make schema-aware processing easier, two new functions (altovaext:type and altovaext:schema) make it possible to read schema information about XML nodes when processing XML instance files with XSLT, XPath, and XQuery.

Altova MapForce Enterprise Edition

• Dynamic assignment of URLs for REST Web services at runtime - When calling a REST Web service, you can now supply the URL of the Web service as parameter to the mapping. This option provides extra flexibility when you need complete control over the URL and would like to specify it at mapping runtime.
