Altova XML Spy is currently an advanced XML and JSON editor that can be used to design, edit, and debug enterprise applications involving JSON, XML, XML Schema, XSLT, XQuery, SOAP, WSDLs, Web Services, OOXML, and XBRL technologies. It also includes features such as Visual Studio and Eclipse plugins.
Altova XML Spy Enterprise Edition is the industry's leading XML and JSON editor, with intuitive editing views and powerful tools that enable quick and easy modeling, editing, transformation, and debugging of XML and JSON related technologies.
XML Spy is driven by RaptorXML and can perform lightning fast validation and processing. In addition to the popular XML and JSON editors, XML Spy also includes a graphical XML Schema 1.0/1.1 editor that can easily design and document complex schemas.
XML Spy includes a graphical JSON Schema editor and validator, the first JSON grid editor, and JSON& lt;& amp; gt; XML converters even support the use of XPaths, XSLTs, and XQuery to process JSON.
The revolutionary Smart Fix validation not only reports validation errors, but also recommends options to click to fix them, simplifying the troubleshooting process. It also includes an XSLT 1.0/2.0/3.0 editor and debugger that supports patterns to refine the stylesheet.
The XPath 1.0/2.0/3.1 builder/evaluator and intelligent XPath autocompletion assist in building and testing XPath expressions, and can evaluate multiple JSON or XML files. The XQuery 1.0/2.0/3.0/3.1 editor and debugger that support schemas can facilitate intelligent querying of XML data.
Intelligent HTML, HTML 5, XHTML, and CSS3 editing are also provided. XML Spy supports all major SQL databases, including SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Informix, MySQL, Sybase, Firebird, Access, and more. You can connect to and query relational database, generate XML Schema from DB, import and export data according to DB schema, generate DB from XML Schema, and edit relational or XML data.
XML Spy includes COM and Java APIs, as well as OLE and ActiveX controls, and can access the powerful functions of XML Spy through programs. After integrating XML Spy with Microsoft Visual Studio or Eclipse, you can seamlessly access XML Spy editing views and XML development tools from these popular IDEs.

Text and graphic XML editing views
XMLSpy abstraction the complexity of editing XML and related technologies through its intuitive user interface and rich and varied views and options. Whether you prefer editing XML documents in a text-based XML viewer or a graphical XML viewer, XML Spy provides intelligent guidance and item helper programs as you type, and uses the industry's most standard XML validator for quick and easy troubleshooting.
XML Grid View
The XML grid view uses a set of nested containers that reflect its hierarchical structure to display the structure of XML documents. It also includes rearranging the table view of duplicate elements in the table for easy viewing and sorting. By default, XML grid views use attributes and child elements on columns and display duplicate XML elements as rows - but you can flip rows and columns to adjust the display based on the data type of the file.
XML grids make XML editing faster and more powerful than using text editors alone. Advanced features include:
- Automatic image display
- Easily create an XPath filter
- XQuery formula for calculating results or generating node sets
- Paste content from external applications (text editor, Visual Studio/Eclipse, Excel...)
- Customize node grouping for very large XML files
