Introduction

XMLdation Studio was developed so that experts may maintain XML business rules and test files easily.

Maintaining business rules and test files in Studio ensures several beneficial products for Studio expert. Users of XMLdation's validation service may access the maintained rules and validate their own XML files against them. In addition, Studio provides documentation on the maintained business rules which can be handed to people who are creating XML-files. With test file creation you can manage large sets of test files with variating content and up-to-date timestamps and unique identifiers together with large files for performance testing.

Therefore, Studio provides following features for its user:

  • creation and maintaining XML business rules
