XMLSpy overview

What is XMLSpy?

XMLSpy is an on-premise software that provides businesses with JSON and XML editors to build applications and streamline modeling processes. Developers can use the XML Grid View to create XPath filters, generate nodesets, edit documents, and paste content from third-party applications.

XMLSpy provides organizations with a Smart Fix XLM validation tool, which allows supervisors to automatically detect errors and resolve validation issues. With the XML Schema editor, managers can create schemas using relational databases, generate subsets, and streamline refactoring processes. It also lets users edit JSON files, validate syntax errors, create charts from JSON data, and convert files to XML format.

XMLSpy enables businesses to create a graphical representation of the JSON document structure and debug XSLT stylesheets on a centralized platform. The software also helps users test and troubleshoot XPath/XQuery and simultaneously execute updates across multiple files or folders.
