New in oXygen XML Editor 14.2

Version 14.2 of oXygen XML Editor adds important features for both XML Development and XML Authoring.On the XML development side, oXygen completes the set of XML Schema 1.1 related features with full schema editing support and capabilities to generate XML instances and schema documentation in accordance with this new W3C standard.On the XML Authoring side, oXygen streamlines XML reviewing by adding support for highlights and a Review manager panel. Highlights help you focus on the content you need to review and the Review manager panel presents all the changes, comments and highlights from a document so you can quickly inspect and manage them.Improvements were made for quickly finding resources in the project by searching in their content or file paths. oXygen offers these advanced search capabilities by adding a dedicated view that supports complex text search expressions, such as: multiple words, boolean operators, group searches, etc. as well as XML-aware filters. Documents from a Microsoft SharePoint server can now be accessed using the Data Source Explorer view, where you can edit, check-in, or check-out resources directly.As usual, oXygen XML updates many components to their latest versions, and extends the API available to third party applications.

XML Schema 1.1 Support

Complete support for XML Schema 1.1

oXygen improved the XML Schema 1.1 support, including schema and instance validation, content completion, resource dependencies, search and refactoring actions and the schema design mode. More, it is now possible to generate XML instances and XML Schema documentation starting from an XML Schema 1.1 file.

The Review panel provides a simplified way of monitoring all the inserted content, deleted content, comments, and highlights in an XML document.
