XmlVoyager

XmlVoyager combines the flexibility of spreadsheets with the hierarchical layout of XML to provide a new approach for viewing, annotating, visualizing, and transforming XML documents (screen shots).

Key Features

Allows dynamic annotations using XRules dynamic properties. For example, automatically mark all nodes that have more than 3 child nodes with an X, or automatically calculate the total number of child nodes for each XML node.
Flexibility in attaching one annotation to multiple nodes in one step by specifying XPath expressions that select multiple nodes. XPath expressions are automatically generated by the program, and can be manually edited by the user.
Provides node folding to hide nodes when not working on them. Nodes that have no properties attached to them are folded by default to save valuable viewing area.
Generated views can be saved as HTML and viewed with a web browser.
Annotations can be stored in separate files which allows mixing and matching. For example, two users can create their annotations separately, and then use XmlVoyager to show all the annotations on one page.
