Altova Adds Exciting New Functionality in Version 2015
BEVERLY, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Altova® (http://www.altova.com)
today announced the release of Version 2015 of its MissionKit desktop
developer tools and server software products. This release offers
exciting new features including support for XQuery Update Facility in
XMLSpy®, JSON data mapping and conversion in MapForce®, enhanced support
for XBRL Table Linkbase and XBRL Formula in multiple products,
performance-enhancing options for workflow automation, and much more.
"This release encompasses new functionality to make working with XML and
related standards easier. We've gone above simply supporting these
powerful standards by offering innovative implementations and graphical
development options that let developers harness the full power of each
technology more readily," said Alexander Falk president and CEO of
Altova. "With enhancements including a powerful new XQuery Update
Facility window, JSON data mapping, and a real-time XBRL Table layout
preview, we've addressed customer requests and provided must-have new
functionality for anyone working with these technologies."
New features in MissionKit Developer Tools include:
-
Support for XQuery Update Facility in XMLSpy: XQuery Update
Facility is an extension of XQuery that allows developers to make
persistent changes in XML instances using update expressions. XMLSpy
2015 provides a new XQuery Update window that makes it easy to build
and execute XQuery Update expressions quickly and easily with syntax
coloring, code completion and implementation hints, helpful error
message reporting, and more. The XQuery Update window lets developers
preview the results of their updates, which they can then apply to
their file(s) with one click. In this way, XMLSpy provides an
intelligent mechanism for implementing XQuery Update via a familiar
find-and-replace paradigm.
-
JSON data mapping and conversion in MapForce: MapForce 2015 now
supports JSON as the source or target for any data mapping project,
allowing customers to define graphical data mapping projects for
integrating JSON with any combination of XML, database, EDI, XBRL,
flat file, Excel, and/or Web services data. JSON is an increasingly
popular data format for data exchange, and this is an often-requested
feature that gives MapForce users even more flexibility and power for
data transformation and integration.
-
XBRL Table Layout Preview in XMLSpy: The graphical XBRL Tabe
Linkbase editor in XMLSpy now includes a real-time preview of the XBRL
table layout, allowing taxonomy authors to see the resulting table as
it is built and understand the result of every edit. This simplifies
the process of defining XBRL Tables significantly, further cementing
XMLSpy's status as XBRL Taxonomy Editor of choice.
-
Point-and-click XBRL Formula editor in XMLSpy: The XBRL Table
layout preview described above is also utilized in the XMLSpy XBRL
Formula linkbase editor to provide a point-and-click approach to
building XBRL Formulas. Developers can define fact variables for
formulas simply by clicking the required data cell in the XBRL Table
layout preview. This new functionality makes it significantly less
complicated to develop XBRL Formulas - which are otherwise very
tedious to build - making it easier for organizations to benefit from
the advantages of XBRL Formula for validating business rules and
calculating new XBRL facts based on reported XBRL data.
-
XBRL Table Linkbase mapping in MapForce: MapForce 2015 now
includes the ability to map XBRL Table Linkbase data when it exists in
an XBRL Taxonomy. This adds to robust support for mapping XBRL data to
or from relational databases and other data sources and makes mapping
of common financial statement line items much easier.
New features in Altova Server Software Products include:
-
XQuery Update Facility Support in RaptorXML Server:
Similar to XMLSpy, RaptorXML now supports execution of XQuery Update
Facility. RaptorXML also includes enhanced support for XSLT 3.0, and
significantly optimized support for EBA 2.1 (COREP/FINREP) taxonomies:
COREP/FINREP taxonomies is now up to 100 times faster* for large
files, i.e., those bigger than 10 MB.
-
FlowForce Server boasts a series of new administration features
that will help administrators configure new installations and manage
existing ones. Some of these new features include: Ability to move
configuration objects from one FlowForce Server to another, ability to
abort job executions, Active Directory integration and many more.
-
API for control of MapForce Server and StyleVision Server:
MapForce Server and StyleVision Server now support an API that allows
native execution by programs written in C# and VB.NET (News - Alert) in Windows, from
other Windows apps via a COM interface, and from Java programs in
windows, Linux, and MacOS. This new API allows developers to
incorporate the functionality of MapForce Server and StyleVision
Server as a feature of their own applications.
These and many more features are available in the 2015 Version of MissionKit
desktop developer tools and Server
software. For a complete list of new features, supported standards,
