Use a form-based method to create XML documents based upon an XSD

[acutshall]

Is it possible, using Oxygen or some other means, to create XML documents based upon an XSD in a graphical/form-based way? Basically, I envision each element as a row with attributes as fields enforcing data types and, if needed, enumerations as specified. If the schema changes, then of course the form would change to follow suit. The result would be to create/open XML documents compatible with the specified schema, allow editing of the document, and saving the document with all of the elements/attributes validated against the schema.

Suggestions?

Hi,

Oxygen has an editing mode called Author which allows you to edit an XML file in a visual manner if you have an associated CSS file:

Basically besides the XML and XML Schema you would need to also have a CSS file which describes how the XML elements should be presented.

In Oxygen 14.1 which will appear in September this year you will also have the possibility to edit attributes directly in the editor using text fields, combo boxes or check boxes.
