This XSLT editor offers standard features and additional benefits like Intellisense and tag auto-complete. It is available at a lower price than XMLSpy, making it an excellent value. Users can try it for free for 30 days.
Xselerator is an advanced software tool that has a wide range of features for developers. The software includes a clear and easy to use Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with XSL/XSLT element and attribute intuitive drop-downs, making it similar to Intellisense or code insight. The automatic tag completion fills in elements with mandatory attributes and follows the XSL/XSLT tag completion model. Additionally, there are HTML element and attribute intuitive drop-downs that allow for easy coding.
The Xselerator supports Unicode, making it easy to work with different languages. Full XSL, XSLT, XML, and HTML color syntax highlighting is fully customizable to suit individual preferences. The software has all the usual editor capabilities, such as cut, copy, paste, find, replace, and special 'Copy as RTF' and 'Copy as HTML' features that allow syntax highlighting to be preserved when copying and pasting to word-processors, HTML editors, and newsgroups.
The Xselerator includes a powerful XSLT debugger that allows developers to step through code with full stepping capability. Breakpoints can be set on both XSLT and input XML, and conditional breakpoints can be used. The view template call stack feature easily allows developers to see what functions are being called. Watch values, including full XPath expression watches, are also included, making debugging a breeze. It uses MSXML3 transformations, so the debugging session behavior matches the real production environment transformation engine.
The software also includes a transformation feature, allowing for one-click transformation testing. Full transformation testing is possible, including XSL parameter passing, start mode, and output test path. Alternative command-line transformation engines can also be used, such as Instant Saxon, XT, etc.
In addition, developers can benefit from the wizard features, which include building tables, selects/list boxes, and XSLT grouping/distinct expressions. The XPath query analyzer tool is also helpful for testing XPath queries to see the resulting node sets. It is possible to click on the resulting list item to view the position to the node in the source/tree view.
Other tools include the Project Files Manager that keeps all related XML and XSL files together, the source edit, tree, and browser view modes, and the files opened history that allows previous files to be re-opened from the menu (and re-opened XSLT files restore previous parameters/start mode). There is also a print and print preview feature with selectable highlighting options.
Overall, Xselerator is an excellent choice for developers looking for a comprehensive software tool with advanced features for coding, debugging, and testing.
