The second beta of XML Spy Suite 4.0
is available for testing, including support for the W3C XML Schema
Recommendation.
XML Spy has evolved from an editor into an integrated XML development
environment, now supporting XML Schema and XSLT creation as well as XML
editing. New features in the second beta release include:
- W3C XML Schema REC support
- Conversion from Schema CR schemas to the final REC version, and
conversion from DTDs, XDR, BizTalk schemas..
- Autogeneration of schema from relational databases, import/export from
database sources.
- Office XP-style user interface
- Plug-in extensibility architecture
XML Spy now includes a document editing framework, allowing word-processor
like graphical editing and creation of content. In the 4.0b2 this editor is
now available as a browser plugin, allowing deployment over the web. The
editing framework also includes a graphical XSLT designer tool.
XML Spy is commercial software, available for the Windows platform. More
information on participating in the beta program can be obtained from XML Spy's web site.
