DocFlex/XSD is an easy adjustable template-driven XML Schema documentation generator able to produce by any W3C XML Schema(s) the professional quality documentation in both framed HTML and RTF formats.
The multi-framed hypertext HTML will represent any XML schemas in a beautiful clear-cut form with great a lot of details about the schema components and all interconnections between them.
The same sophisticated content can be reproduced as a single RTF document friendly to open with both MS Word and OpenOffice.org. In addition, most of hyperlinks are supplemented with page number references, which help navigating the printed documentation.
DocFlex/XSD may also greatly help you to automat the process of documenting your XML schemas.
Now, you not only can insert all your descriptions directly into the schema annotation elements. Using XHTML tags, you can also pre-format your descriptions in almost any imaginable way (including the possibility to insert images with img tags). DocFlex/XSD will process such XML schemas into a splendid HTML or RTF documentation!
DocFlex/XSD is a pure Java application able to run on any platform with JRE v1.4.x or later. The software includes:
(1) The graphic Templates Designer;
(2) The templates interpreter/output generator;
(3) The "XSDDoc" template set.
The XML Schema Documentation Generator itself is implemented entirely as a set of "XSDDoc" templates processed by a special interpreter that generates the output documentation. It can be run both in command-line mode and with a generator GUI, where you can specify all the generator settings interactively, start the generation and visually track its progress.
The "XSDDoc" templates are open for any modifications. The high quality graphic Template Designer represents the templates in the form that visualizes the result documentation. Using it, you can quickly and easily customize the generated documentation according to your specific requirements and needs.

XMLSpear is a free XML editor with a great real-time validation feature.
It is easy to use, built in Java and available for all platforms.
XMLSpear is great for users that just want to edit or check XML files without deep knowledge of the XML syntax. The XML is displayed in three different views:
The treetable is great to see the structure of the xml file. Edit your xml files tag-free in this view and don't worry about typing reserved xml characters because it is all handled for you. You can insert and delete nodes, and even build a whole document from scratch. It is the most convenient view for correcting and editing xml. This view makes XMLSpear different form many other XML tools.
The element view is especially usefull if your element has many attributes.
The source view is great for correcting unwellformed xml, doing finds-replaces or copy-and-paste. You can always escape to this view to do advanced things that are not supported in the other views.
You can also validate and edit XML Schema (xsd) files.
Mac OS users can open and edit their plist files, even when they are in binary format.
XMLSpear is packaged with a MQSeries plugin for browing queues and putting messages, so you can even test your MQ based services.
You can extend the fuctionality by writing your own plugins written in Java, which is really very simple.
A sample plugin is now included in the download package !!

Liquid XML Data Binder: http://www.liquid-technologies.com/downloads/XmlDataBinder/XmlStudio.exe
Bridges the Gap between XML and Code (supports C#, Java, Silverlight, VB.Net, Visual Basic 6).
Generates a class library based on an XML Schema (XSD, XDR or DTD). The resulting library makes it simple to read and write XML documents programmatically. Drastically cuts the time spent developing and testing.
Because the class library is strongly typed you can also make use of intellisense, and the library forces compliance to the schema resulting in valid XML every time.
A well established product which has been continually enhanced over the last 4 years, backed up by an impressive customer list of blue chip companies, while still being cost effective for the single user, coupled with our unrivalled support.
So if your developing an application that uses XML, their really is only one sensible way to go. |
