June 4-6, 2026
Prague, Czech Republic
Between the 4th and the 6th of June, The Oxygen XML Editor team will be joining the lineup at XML Prague 2026!
XML Prague is a conference on XML for developers, markup geeks, information managers, and
students. XML Prague focuses on markup and semantics on the Web, publishing and digital books,
XML technologies for Big Data and recent advances in XML technologies. The conference provides
an overview of successful technologies, with a focus on real world application versus
theoretical exposition.
We're thrilled to be a part of this dynamic event and look forward to engaging with fellow XML enthusiasts, sharing knowledge, and exploring the latest innovations in XML technologies. See you in Prague!

Friday, June 5, 2026 | Integrating AI into XML Development Workflows - Octavian NadoluOctavian Nadolu - Syncro
Soft AI is transforming XML development workflows beyond simple code completion, from generating XSLT, Schematron, and XSD components to refactoring large-scale XML projects and creating intelligent custom actions.
Through practical examples and live demos, the session will explore how modern AI tools and LLMs can accelerate development, improve productivity, and assist with validation, migration, and rule authoring across XML technologies. Attendees will also gain a realistic understanding of the challenges involved, including quality control, security, hallucinations, and developer responsibility, while exploring architectural integration patterns for editing tools. |

Saturday, June 6, 2026 | Enabling AI Across the XML Technologies via XPath Functions - George BinaGeorge Bina -
Syncro Soft XML technologies have decades of proven value in document processing,
data transformation, validation, and publishing pipelines. At the same time,
modern AI models excel at tasks that are notoriously hard to express in
declarative languages: natural-language understanding, semantic classification,
content generation, and fuzzy matching. Rather than replacing XML pipelines with
AI-centric alternatives, this work asks a different question: what if AI
were just another function you could call from XPath? The insight is simple but has broad implications. XPath is already the
lingua franca of the XML world: every major XML technology evaluates XPath
expressions. If AI is exposed as XPath extension functions, it becomes a
first-class citizen everywhere those technologies are used. A developer who
learns to call an AI function in an XPath expression can immediately apply that
knowledge in an XSLT template, a Schematron rule, an XProc step, an XQuery
function, or an XSpec test, using the same mental model and the same syntax
everywhere. No new frameworks, no new paradigms, no glue code. By attending this session, you will benefit from: - A clear understanding of why XPath is a high-leverage integration
point for AI: a single set of functions delivers maximum reach across all
XML technologies with minimal integration effort.
- Concrete, runnable examples spanning XProc, Schematron with SQF,
XSLT/XQuery, and XSpec.
- A cost-awareness strategy for AI integration: invoking AI selectively
so that processing costs remain proportional to actual need.
