XMLSpy® 2007 abstracts away the complexity of working with XML-based technologies through its intuitive user interface and rich variety of editing [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/xml_editing.html]views[/URL] 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 [URL=http://www.altova.com/features_editing.html]intelligent editing features[/URL] of XMLSpy® 2007 support auto completion, context sensitive syntax help, entry helpers, syntax coloring, and more to aid you in creating valid XML documents. The 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.

Create Standards-conformant XML Documents
The power of XML lies in its ability to represent data in a standards-based way, independent of the operating system, platform, and programming language used. To realize these benefits in your applications, the XML documents you create must be standards-conformant. XMLSpy® 2007 provides unsurpassed compliance with the latest industry standards, including XML, [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/dtd_editor.html]DTD[/URL], [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/graphical_xml_schema_editor.html]XML Schema[/URL], [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/stylevision/xslt_stylesheet_designer.html]XSLT 1.0 and 2.0[/URL], [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/xpath_analyzer_debugger.html]XPath 1.0 and 2.0[/URL], and [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/xquery_editor.html]XQuery[/URL], as well as [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/soap_test_debugger.html]SOAP[/URL] and [URL=http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/graphical_wsdl_editor.html]WSDL[/URL] for Web services development. Only XMLSpy® 2007 includes:

The most award-winning XML editor for five years in a row
The most standards-conformant validation engine available
The world’s leading XML Schema editor
The award-winning XSLT engine, schema-aware XSLT 2.0 processor, and a powerful XSLT debugger
The world's most intuitive schema-aware XQuery editor and debugger
The unique, user-friendly graphical WSDL editor and SOAP debugger
The advanced standards-conformance supported by XMLSpy® 2007 allows you to create well formed, valid XML documents with ease for use in your advanced B2B and Web services applications.

Develop Advanced XML Applications
In addition to its powerful XML modeling, editing, validation, and debugging capabilities, XMLSpy® 2007 supports the complementary technologies required to build the most advanced XML-based applications. Because XML documents must be bound to an external software application or runtime environment, XMLSpy® 2007 includes automatic [URL=http://www.altova.com/features_code.html]code generation[/URL] of Java, C++, or C# class files based on data elements defined in a schema.

In addition, most advanced applications require interaction with relational databases, which house the majority of business information today. XMLSpy® 2007 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.

XMLSpy® 2007 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, [URL=http://www.altova.com/features_java.html]J2EE[/URL], and Eclipse. Support for integration with [URL=http://www.altova.com/features_visualstudio.html]Microsoft Visual Studio.NET[/URL] and [URL=http://www.altova.com/features_eclipse.html]Eclipse[/URL] allows you to seamlessly access the powerful XMLSpy® 2007 features from within your choice of multi-purpose development environment. You can also access many of the powerful XMLSpy® 2007 functions in a programmatic way using the Java or COM [URL=http://www.altova.com/features_javacom.html]systems integration API[/URL]. And, if you want to embed the some or all of the XMLSpy features and functionality in your own applications, XMLSpy supports OLE and ActiveX control.
