Xcarecrows 4 XML, Cogenit's new Eclipse plugin, is an efficient graphical editor to perform the daily tasks required when working with XML documents.

Features

Cogenit's Xcarecrows 4 XML for Eclipse completes today's powerful integrated development environment to handle the daily tasks required by an XML workflow. To this end, Xcarecrows 4 XML offers:

  1. a graphical XML, XML Schema and XML stylesheets editor ;
  2. a graphical XML tree comparator ;
  3. a built-in checker against XML Schemas ;
  4. an XSL transformations tool kit.

User interaction

The editor of Xcarecrows 4 XML builds on top of Eclipse IDE to provide the user with a familiar, tree structured view of his XML documents. Supported by a built-in graphical XML comparator, it handles the core editing functions available to the user. To further save time, a discrete wizard helps choosing amongst the standard types of XML documents when starting a new edition.

Validation

Thanks to XML Schema, Xcarecrows 4 XML offers the standard checks needed to verify the conformance of XML documents. Beyond a straightforward validation, Xcarecrows 4 XML tightly couples with the user's XML schemas to guide him dynamically during his editions of XML documents. As the standard W3C XML Schema itself is included in Xcarecrows 4 XML , the user can manage both his XML documents and the XML schemas which describe them.

Integration

Xcarecrows 4 XML automates the processing of XML documents through XSL Transformations (XSLT). It adds to the Eclipse IDE the ability to edit chains of XSL stylesheets. The chains of transformations are then stored in the project and ready for an easy use at any point in time. Of course Xcarecrows 4 XML leverages its own features to foster the edition of the XSL stylesheets themselves, thus empowering the user with a coherent XML and XSLT workshop.

Architecture

Xcarecrows 4 XML involves a small set of tightly coupled components:

  1. tree structured data (XML) ;
  2. strong validation (XML Schema) ;
  3. transformations between trees (XSLT).
