  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Tools for XML and JSON In
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Tools for XML and JSON in Altova’s Release of Version 2020r2 Beverly, Mass., April 1, 2020 – Altova® (http://www.altova.com) announced the release of Version 2020r2 of Altova MissionKit desktop developer tools and server software products. This version introduces powerful new ways to increase developer efficiency in XMLSpy, support for new standards, numerous customer-requested features, and much more. Customers who rely on XMLSpy for XML and JSON development often request features for making the tool even more efficient. Based on those requests, the company has added validate-on-edit functionality in the latest release. Adding to strong validation and error- reporting tools in XMLSpy, validate-on-edit gives developers immediate, detailed information about errors as they edit a document so they can be addressed immediately. This helps save time and frustration compared to addressing errors after longer periods of editing. Another often requested feature for developers in this release is auto-backup of documents during editing. Losing work due to an unlikely event such as a software or computer shutdown is now something XMLSpy users won’t have to worry about. The user has full control over whether to run automatic backups and with what frequency. A highlight of some additional new features in this release: • Improvements in the XPath Debugger: additional details are provided in the call stack window of the XMLSpy XPath/XQuery Debugger. Users can now see the context and variables at each step in the call stack, which provides more in-depth information for debugging. This, in addition to speed improvements in the debugger, make testing and debugging XPath/XQuery easier than ever.
