XMLSpy Interface


The XMLSpy interface is structured into three vertical areas. The central area provides you with multiple views of your XML document. The areas on either side of this central area contain windows that provide information, editing help, and file management features.

 

The left area consists of the Project and Info windows.
The central area, called the Main window, is where you edit and view all types of XML documents. You can switch between different views: Text View, Grid View, Schema/WSDL Design View, Authentic View, and Browser View. These views are described in detail in the respective sections on them.
The right area contains the three Entry Helper windows, which enable you to insert or append elements, attributes, and entities. What entries are displayed in the Entry Helper windows depends on the current selection or cursor location in the XML file.

The details of the interface are explained as we go along. Note that the interface changes dynamically according to the document that is active in the Main Window and according to the view selected.
