Xmplify Features

Xmplify XML Editor is a 64-bit native Mac app built from the ground up for macOS, and provides a number of powerful features to make working with and manipulating XML simple and intuitive:

Fully XML-aware editing environment

Xmplify analyses your XML as you type, and maintains a rich set of meta-data so it can provide intelligent editing aids and suggestions according to your document's content and the current editing context.

See your document's structure at a glance

Xmplify provides an Outline view of your document that shows its structure, and automatically keeps the Outline up to date to reflect the latest edits.

Automatic document verification

If your document specifies a DTD or XML Schema, Xmplify automatically uses that to verify your document's content. The verification results are automatically kept up to date as your edit your document.

Auto-complete XML based on its DTD or XML Schema

Xmplify uses its knowledge of your document's current structure and its definition (DTD or XML Schema) to provide intelligent auto-completion suggestions. Xmplify's auto-completion pop-up also displays displays documentation relevant to each auto-completion, putting all the information you need to create and edit semantically correct documents at your fingertips.

Node documentation

Xmplify scans for and displays any documentation provided by your documents' XSDs for whatever node you're currently editing, providing you with full details of the current context no matter where you are in your document. If your document specifies a DTD, Xmplify displays documentation based on the DTD specification for the current node. And if your document doesn't specify an XSD or a DTD, Xmplify displays documentation based on the XSD it automatically derives for you.

And of course, like everything else in Xmplify, node documentation is automatically kept up to date as you move around in and edit your document - or its specification.

Automatic Schema derivation

If your document doesn't specify a DTD or XML Schema Xmplify automatically derives a schema and seamlessly uses the derived schema for providing intelligent auto-completion suggestions. Xmplify updates the derived schema as you edit your document, so it can always offer accurate suggestions.

Xmplify can also derive a Schema from multiple source XML documents, so you don't need to compile a "master" source XML document with all possible cases in order to derive a comprehensive Schema.

Navigate quickly to element definitions

Xmplify's Goto Specification feature allows you to quickly jump to the location in your document's DTD or XML Schema that defines the elements you're working with. If your document doesn't have an explicit DTD or schema, Goto Specification will take you to the relevant entries in the schema that Xmplify has automatically derived for your document.

XSL transformations

Xmplify makes applying XSLTs and working with their transformations easy, and with Xmplify's Web Preview features you can easily check the output of XSLTs that produce (X)HTML.

Xmplify includes a built-in XSLT 1.0 processor, libxslt, and supports external XSLT processors (including XSLT 2.0 and 3.0 processors), such as Saxon and Xalan.

Web Preview

Xmplify's Web Preview feature provides a preview of (X)HTML documents. Previews are automatically kept up to date as you edit your document.

Powerful searching by both XPath and Regular Expressions

Incremental search with regex support is built-in, and Xmplify makes it easy to run XPath queries and select matching nodes in your document.
