Altova®
announced the release of Version 2015 of its
MissionKit desktop developer tools and server software
products. This release offers exciting new features
including support for XQuery Update Facility in XMLSpy®,
JSON data mapping and conversion in MapForce®, enhanced
support for XBRL Table Linkbase and XBRL Formula in multiple
products, performance-enhancing options for workflow
automation, and much more.
“This release encompasses new
functionality to make working with XML and related standards
easier. We’ve gone above simply supporting these powerful
standards by offering innovative implementations and
graphical development options that let developers harness
the full power of each technology more readily,” said
Alexander Falk president and CEO of Altova. “With
enhancements including a powerful new XQuery Update Facility
window, JSON data mapping, and a real-time XBRL Table layout
preview, we’ve addressed customer requests and provided
must-have new functionality for anyone working with these
technologies.”
New features in MissionKit
Developer Tools include:
-
Support for XQuery Update Facility in XMLSpy:
XQuery Update Facility is an extension of XQuery that
allows developers to make persistent changes in XML
instances using update expressions. XMLSpy 2015 provides
a new XQuery Update window that makes it easy to build
and execute XQuery Update expressions quickly and easily
with syntax coloring, code completion and implementation
hints, helpful error message reporting, and more. The
XQuery Update window lets developers preview the results
of their updates, which they can then apply to their
file(s) with one click. In this way, XMLSpy provides an
intelligent mechanism for implementing XQuery Update via
a familiar find-and-replace paradigm.
-
JSON data mapping and conversion in MapForce:
MapForce 2015 now supports JSON as the source or target
for any data mapping project, allowing customers to
define graphical data mapping projects for integrating
JSON with any combination of XML, database, EDI, XBRL,
flat file, Excel, and/or Web services data. JSON is an
increasingly popular data format for data exchange, and
this is an often-requested feature that gives MapForce
users even more flexibility and power for data
transformation and integration.
-
XBRL Table Layout Preview in XMLSpy: The
graphical XBRL Table Linkbase editor in XMLSpy now
includes a real-time preview of the XBRL table layout,
allowing taxonomy authors to see the resulting table as
it is built and understand the result of every edit.
This simplifies the process of defining XBRL Tables
significantly, further cementing XMLSpy’s status as XBRL
Taxonomy Editor of choice.
-
Point-and-click XBRL Formula editor in XMLSpy:
The XBRL Table layout preview described above is also
utilized in the XMLSpy XBRL Formula linkbase editor to
provide a point-and-click approach to building XBRL
Formulas. Developers can define fact variables for
formulas simply by clicking the required data cell in
the XBRL Table layout preview. This new functionality
makes it significantly less complicated to develop XBRL
Formulas – which are otherwise very tedious to build –
making it easier for organizations to benefit from the
advantages of XBRL Formula for validating business rules
and calculating new XBRL facts based on reported XBRL
data.
-
XBRL Table Linkbase mapping in MapForce: MapForce
2015 now includes the ability to map XBRL Table Linkbase
data when it exists in an XBRL Taxonomy. This adds to
robust support for mapping XBRL data to or from
relational databases and other data sources and makes
mapping of common financial statement line items much
easier.
New features in Altova Server
Software Products include:
-
XQuery Update Facility Support in RaptorXML
Server: Similar to XMLSpy, RaptorXML now supports
execution of XQuery Update Facility. RaptorXML also
includes enhanced support for XSLT 3.0, and
significantly optimized support for EBA 2.1
(COREP/FINREP) taxonomies: COREP/FINREP taxonomies is
now up to 100 times faster* for large files, i.e., those
bigger than 10 MB.
-
FlowForce Server boasts a series of new
administration features that will help administrators
configure new installations and manage existing ones.
Some of these new features include: Ability to move
configuration objects from one FlowForce Server to
another, ability to abort job executions, Active
Directory integration and many more.
-
API for control of MapForce Server and
StyleVision Server: MapForce Server and StyleVision
Server now support an API that allows native execution
by programs written in C# and VB.NET in Windows, from
other Windows apps via a COM interface, and from Java
programs in windows, Linux, and MacOS. This new API
allows developers to incorporate the functionality of
MapForce Server and StyleVision Server as a feature of
their own applications.
These and many more features
are available in the 2015 Version of
MissionKit desktop developer tools and
Server software. For a complete list of new features,
supported standards, and trial downloads please visit one of
