XML Editor

Oxygen XML Editor brought the first XQuery debugger against a native XML database allowing users of the MarkLogic 3.2 (or higher) database to debug their XQuery code based on the MarkLogic Server 3.2 (or higher) XQuery debugging API.

In addition to organizing the XML data in tables, Oracle offers a logical grouping of the XML resources in collections. You can open and edit documents using the database explorer available in the database perspective. The resources subtree is found under the node "XML Repository".

An Oracle XML container or a Tamino one can have millions of resources. In order to improve the performance of browsing a container the maximum number of nodes displayed in such a container in the Database Explorer view is limited to a configurable value. The nodes set can be browsed with Up and Down buttons.

You can choose the type of the containers you want to create from the database browser. There are supported both the "Wholedoc" type containers and the "Node" type containers.

The XML instances stored in a Tamino doctype can be deleted.

Tamino system collections can be browsed using the database explorer.

An XQuery predicate can be set as filter for the XML instances of a Tamino doctype presented in Database Explorer view.

Output parameters are supported for stored procedures executed on a database of type IBM DB2, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL.

The Outline view displays a tree structure of the document updated in real time as you edit your file. It also displays some information from the attributes or from the text content for each element. Oxygen has a priority list with attribute names and uses that to determine what attribute to display instead of presenting the first attribute. This allows a better insight of the document structure from the Outline view as you can easily see the relevant information.

The XPath panel and the XPath Builder view can show the XPath that matches the element at the current cursor position. The expression is updated as you move the cursor through the document. For instance, if you are inside a title inside a section inside article you will see "article/section/title" and executing that will show in the XPath results panel all the first level sections titles from your article. The XPath expression is useful also to give you a quick hint of your position in the document.

You can specify the default opening mode for the XML files: Text or Grid. Thus if you are mainly working with data files that are better suited for a table layout you can open them directly in the Grid editing mode.

The Eclipse plugin distribution of Oxygen is also able to browse FTP / SFTP / WebDAV servers and open and save files on such servers.

The latest version of the OASIS XML Catalogs specification is supported. Catalog elements such as systemIdSuffix and uriSuffix are recognized in XML catalog files. This makes possible the resolution of relative locations.

The option allows browsing application bundles as directories on Mac OS X.

The format and indent action can be applied on JavaScript files. There are several options to control the formatting, such as preserving or removing empty lines, and the position of the start curly bracket.

The Saxon 8 XSLT and XQuery processor was updated to the latest version: 8.9.0.3. Both Saxon 8 Basic and Schema Aware versions are supported, including XSLT 2.0 and XQuery debugging and profiling and also schema validation (for the Schema Aware version you need a separate license from Saxonica).

The XSL-FO transformer from Apache was updated to the latest version: 0.93. Note for the TEI users: Because the TEI FO stylesheets are not compatible with the latest FOP, it is recommended to download and configure the FOP version 0.20.5 as an external FO processor and then change the transformation scenarios to use it.

The DocBook XML schemas were updated to the latest version: 5.0CR3.

The DocBook XSL stylesheets were updated to the latest version: 1.71.1.

The XML Security library from Apache was updated to the latest version: 1.4.0.

The SVNKit library used in the SVN Client was updated to the latest version: 1.1.2.
