The following editions are available:
Updates in 2010 Release 3
- Ability to validate naming and coding conventions (extended schema validation) (Enterprise edition only)
The XMLSpy graphical XML Schema editor now lets schema designers validate naming and coding conventions outside of the capabilities of the XML Schema standard.Naming conventions refer to the guidelines for what element/attribute tags are called (i.e. <element>). XML Schema already provides a number of built-in naming allowances and constraints, for example, names cannot start with a numbers, punctuation, or "xml". This feature lets schema developers validate additional rule definitions like all lower case letters, etc. Coding conventions refer to more complex rules for the way in which the schema is written and lets developers narrow the scope of the XML Schema recommendation to align with internal best practices. For example, XML Schema allows for anonymous type definitions, in which types are implicitly defined. While this practice can save time and space in larger schemas, some organizations may choose to restrict its use to promote the portability and longevity of the schema. - User-defined sample values for XML instance generation (Professional and Enterprise editions only)
This feature enables users to add sample data to their example XML instance generations so that they will contain arbitrary results, selected from pre-supplied values. Customers can use the Samples tab in the Facets entry helper window of the graphical schema editor to choose to have this data populate their sample instance randomly, by cycling through, or by using only the first entry in the list. This is a very important feature for anyone who wants to control the sample data that they publish. - Support for Visual Studio 2010 (Professional and Enterprise editions only)
XMLSpy now integrates with the newest release of Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2010.
