Enhanced Grid View

The enhanced XML Grid View of XMLSpy® 2010 shows the hierarchical structure of any XML-compliant document through a set of nested containers. These can be easily expanded and collapsed to get a clear picture of the XML document's tree-like structure.

The XML Grid View in XMLSpy allows you to directly manipulate your document while analyzing its heirarchy in a graphical manner, using advanced drag-and-drop, intelligent XML editing functions.

XML Grid View also includes database/table view, which automatically detects sequences of repeating elements and rearranges the presentation to show these elements in a tabular grid. The tabular view is a well-known paradigm that resembles database- or spreadsheet-like applications. The XML Grid View achieves this database/table representation by showing the respective attributes and sub-elements of the repeating element as columns in the table.

The database/table view is fully integrated with the XML Grid View, and you can switch between both presentation forms for each element at will. Editing in the table view is supported through advanced drag-and-drop and intelligent editing functions, and you can work with XML data as you would in a spreadsheet or database application.

For easy data exchange with other applications, you can select elements in the table and simply copy/paste them directly into Microsoft Access or Excel. This feature works both ways, allowing you to easily copy data from any spreadsheet-like application into the XMLSpy® 2010 XML Grid View.

When searching for or replacing data in XML Grid View, the find and replace commands offer the flexibility to restrict your search by elements, attributes, or text, and also specify the usual case-sensitivity and whole-word options.

For more complex data exchange tasks, XMLSpy® 2010 also offers a set of unique conversion utilities, which allow you to import/export XML data from any text file, Word document, or database.
