XMLSpy is a proprietary XML editor and integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Altova. XMLSpy allows developers to create XML-based and Web services applications using technologies such as XML, JSON, XBRL, XML Schema, XSLT, XPath, XQuery, WSDL and SOAP.
Development
[edit]XMLSpy was first released in 1999,[1] producing an integrated development environment for XML.[2] It is a licensed software product that uses key protection to prevent unlicensed usage.[3] Version 3.5 was released in 2000, allowing graphical input for editing diagrams and access to remote files.[4][5] Version 4.1, released in 2001, added the capability to create XML schemas.[6] The 5.0 version of the program was released in 2002, adding a XSLT processor, XSLT debugger, a WSDL editor, HTML importer, and a Java as well as C++ generator. The version's XML document editor was redesigned to allow for easier use by businesses.[7] XMLSpy 2006 was given the Platinum Award by SQL Pro Magazine's Editor's choice awards.[8] XMLSpy 2007 added increased XPath capabilities, including better integration with Microsoft Word.[9]
In 2008 XMLSpy was the gold recipient in the Development Platform category by SQL Server Pro.[10] In 2009 XMLSpy was named the Editors' Best Best Development Tool's Silver Award recipient by Windows IT Pro Magazine.[11] XMLSpy 2010 added additional support for WSDL 2.0, as well as JSON editing.[12] In 2011 the program added additional charting and graphing support, in addition to enhancing other program capabilities.[13] In 2012 the new version added support for HTML5 and EPUB.[14] The 2013 version then added new XML validation tools.[15] The program also has support for XBRL, in order to manage and view XBRL data.[16] Version 2014 includes support for XQuery Update Facility, with recent updates adding support for JSON Schema and Apache Avro.
