Xmplify overview

Xmplify is a powerful new XML editor for OS X. It provides a number of powerful features to make working with and manipulating XML simple and intuitive:

Features

Fully XML-aware editing environment - Xmplify analyses your XML as you type, and maintains a rich set of metadata 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.
Auto-complete XML based on its DTD or W3C Schema - Xmplify uses its knowlege of your document's current structure and its definition (DTD or W3C schema) to provide intelligent auto-completion suggestions.
Automatic schema derivation - If your document doesn't specify a DTD or W3C schema, Xmplify automatically derives one 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 W3C 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.
Automatic document verification - If your document specifies a DTD or W3C schema, Xmplify automatically uses that to verify your document's content. The verification results are automatically kept up-to-date as you edit 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.
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.
Built from the ground up for OS X - Xmplify is a 64-bit native Mac app, designed and built from the ground up to leverage the power and elegance of OS X.

What’s new in version 1.11.8

This is the first 64-bit beta release of Xmplify - with this release, there is no longer any fixed upper bound on the size of documents that Xmplify can open. Of course, there are practical limits - the resources available on your Mac :)
Xmplify now looks for and tries to reuse an existing XSL transformation results window when re-applying the same transformation, instead of creating a new results document for every transformation. Prevoius XSL transformation results documents that have been edited since they were generated are not re-used, so any edits you make to transformation results won't be over-written if you re-apply the transformation.
Changes to open documents are now visible to any other open documents that use or incorporate them. For example, it's no longer necessary to save edits made to an XSD or DTD in order for Xmplify to use the updated schema or DTD when working with a document that references it.
Improved performance of document parsing and markup.
Improved responsiveness when editing larger documents.
Improved performance of schema derivation.
Improved auto-completion performance, particularly for very complex schemas.
Improved specificity of datatypes when deriving schemas for documents that don't have a schema or DTD.
Improved quality of document parsing and validation messages.
Document validation is now skipped for documents that auto-generate their own specification.
Documents that contain an XML schema are now parsed for internal consistency according to the XSD spec, with errors and warnings updated in real time as the document is edited.

Fixed bug where W3C XML Schema auto-complete didn't work for elements defined in local types.
Added basic support for Goto Specification functionality for elements defined in a W3C XML Schema (including schemas that have been automatically derived by Xmplify). Note that this feature is currently very basic (namespace support in particular is limited), and only works for elements defined in a top-level schema via a global element or type specification. To use:
- select part of the element's name and choose Goto | Specification; or
- right-click on the element's name and choose Goto Specification; or
- hold down Command when the cursor is inside the element's name, and hit Enter; or
- hold down Command and mouse over the element name, and click the link that appears.

Good editor, the author is continously developing this tool; in which is nice, and makes it worth its price on its own.

The editor is superb. However there are caching issues with the schema. The schema can be updated but Xmplify doesn't realise. The support team gave me a 'work around' of restarting the app. Not really acceptable. Eventually their application couldn't find my schema at all. I had wasted a couple of hours because of this. Validation is an essential process. If the tool doing validation is flaky then it truly is game over. These guys would be the market leader on OSX if they sorted all this out. I can only imagine that this is a fairly new product. They missed some basic validation... which is worrying. Even a newbie after a few days wouldn't fall for it. I tested my XML on a free web-based XML validation tool and that found a problem. When I checked the official XML documentation is seems that the free tool was right and they were not. This is concerning. I can't believe the other high reviews. They were either written by people at the company or the people using the product hadn't used it for anything other than a basic piece of XML. I really want these guys to succeed, however a lot more quality control and testing needed.

It's been some time now since I last reviewed Xmplify, and I guess it's time for an update. I've been using the tool for the last few years now for almost every XML editing task on the Mac, and I keep being surprised by its great versatility, quality, feature-richness and stability. Of all the XML editors I came across this is definitely the one I like using most. Another thing, experienced again just today, is the great responsiveness of the author. I made a feature suggestion that turned out to be for a feature that was already there, and I got a friendly reply explaining the feature within minutes (where, to be honest, an RTFM would also have been in order :-)). There are lots of tools that are much more expensive and don't have even nearly that quality of support. So a 100% thumbs-up again for Damien and Xmlplify!

Finally! A native OSX editor for XML. I only had to work with the trial for about 10 minutes before I knew that I wanted to buy Xmplify, and I did. The author was quick to get back to me on a few suggestions and a small interface bug. I hope that fixes and updates roll out just as quickly.
