Windows работа с xml

Перевод публикуется с сокращениями, автор оригинальной статьи – Bigyan Ghimire.

Поскольку XML имеет
важное значение при разработке приложений, большинство современных фреймворков
используют его для передачи данных (когда имеется большой файл XML, его нужно
отредактировать и выполнить некоторые операции). Редакторы XML – это специализированные
инструменты, использующие DTD и различные структуры, вроде схем и деревьев.

Рассмотрим наиболее популярные из них.

Oxygen

Oxygen – это кроссплатформенный редактор, написанный на Java. Он поддерживает несколько функций для редактирования документов:

• проверку правильности формы XML;
• валидацию по таким схемам, как DTD, W3C XML Schema, RELAX NG, Schematron, NRL и NVDL schemas.

Oxygen XML предлагает
три подхода к редактированию документа XML:

• Текстовый: вариант по умолчанию.
• Вид сетки: документ XML форматируется в электронную таблицу, в которой левый столбец хранит элементы, комментарии и инструкции по обработке, а следующий столбец показывает атрибуты корневых элементов и каждого первого уникального дочернего элемента.
• Авторское представление: предлагает формат WYSIWYM (то, что ты видишь, есть то, что ты имеешь в виду). Такой формат понятен и удобен человеку, при этом он сохраняет вложенность и семантику.

Emacs для XML

Emacs
известен как мощный текстовый редактор, предпочитаемый разработчиками UNIX. Он может работать с XML не только на UNIX-платформах, но и в Windows, MS-DOS
и OS X.

В Emacs существуют следующие
режимы редактирования XML:

• sgml-mode.el
• PSGML
• PSGMLx
• nXMLMode
• XML-poly
• xml-lite.el
• XML Authoring Environment (XAE)
• XSL-Mode

nXMLMode – основной
режим редактирования XML в Emacs. Он поддерживает schema-sensitive.

XML Notepad

XML Notepad
– редактор для XML с открытым исходным кодом. Он поддерживает древовидное представление, вывод XSL в
левой панели, текст ноды справа и окно отладки внизу.

Программа поставляется с
редактируемым Tree View, которое содержит обновляемые имена и значения нод,
обновляемые в текстовом представлении.

Поддерживается IntelliSense для автодополнения кода и поиска синтаксических ошибок. Также
включены выражения XPath и XInclude. Редактор имеет хорошую производительность при
работе с большими документами XML и проверяет XML-схемы на лету. В него включено средство просмотра HTML для изучения выходных данных преобразования
XSLT.

Liquid XML Studio IDE

Liquid XML Studio IDE – XML-редактор,
основанный на Windows и биндинге данных. Включает в себя Graphical XML
Schema Editor, Graphical JSON Schema Editor, Graphical XML editor и редактор DTD. Он также поставляется с расширением пользовательского интерфейса для Microsoft
Visual Studio через Visual Studio
Industry Partner (VSIP).

Stylus Studio

Stylus Studio
– эта IDE написана на C++ и распространяется на условиях проприетарной лицензии стоимостью от 99
долларов. Программа позволяет редактировать и преобразовывать XML-документы для электронного обмена данными(EDI), CSV и реляционные данные. Поддерживаются XQuery Editing, XQuery Mapping, XQuery Debugging.

Студия поддерживает три представления XML: просмотр текста, дерево и сетка. Древовидное
представление используется для минимизации кода и раскраски синтаксиса. Оно полезно
при редактировании больших файлов, а сетка выигрышно смотрится при
выполнении вычислений, когда необходимо просмотреть свой документ XML в виде электронной
таблицы.

Komodo

Помимо поддержки XML, Komodo умеет работать с HTML, Perl, Ruby, Python, Java и
т. д. Это простой, но функциональный инструмент. Автодополнение кода функционирует
великолепно, макет лаконичен и интуитивно понятен. Софт имеет платную версию под
названием Komodo IDE, включающую в себя модульное тестирование, синхронизацию
нескольких рабочих станций и интеграцию с GitHub и BitBucket.

Komodo поддерживает
закладки и метки, позаимствованные у Emacs.

Отслеживание изменений
позволяет откатиться назад. Поле трекера позволяет управлять изменениями исходного кода (SCC), когда документ находится на стадии пересмотра. Если
архив находится в SCC, то ядро трекера показывает изменения, сопоставленные с
последним коммитом.

Kate

Редактор исходного кода
Kate предлагает окно отладки, проводник и плагины. Среди
них KTextEditor для редактирования тем, предоставляемых KSyntaxHighlighting. Он
имеет возможность просмотра источников HTML, редактирования конфигурационных файлов и
выполнения задач по расписанию.

Плагин проверки XML проверяет файл на наличие предупреждений и ошибок, которые появятся в окне Kate, а основанный на libxmlcalled плагин под названием «XML Completion» проверяет,
следует ли документ правилам DTD.

NotePad ++

Notepad++
– это текстовый редактор с лицензией GPL. Он имеет хорошую производительность,
потому как основан на компоненте редактирования Scintilla и написан на C++.
Инструмент поддерживает подсветку синтаксиса, форматирование/минимизацию кода, а также незначительное автодополнение для разных языков программирования, сценариев и разметки.

К сожалению в редакторе нет
интеллектуального автодополнения кода и проверки синтаксиса.

Notepad++ поставляется с основанным на libXML2 плагином
XML Tools для поддержки набора полезных инструментов и редактирования XML-документов.

Для установки переходим
в раздел Plugins -> Plugin Admin и находим «XML tools». Плагин обеспечивает
проверку XML, XSD и DTD путем верификации формата и синтаксиса. Он поддерживает
текущий XML Path и Xpath.

XML Grid.net

Это онлайн-едактор XML, предоставляющий различные сервисы:

• XML Sitemap Editor: позволяет редактировать кастомные XML sitemap-ы сайтов, которые можно загрузить по URL-адресу или загрузить файл локально.
• Online XML To Text Converter: преобразование XML в текстовые файлы.
• Online XML Validator: проверка и валидация схемы на соответствие DTD.
• XPath Editor: создание и оценка выражения XPath, а также проверка путей.

Плагин обеспечивает
преобразование из XSD в XML, XML в Excel, JSON в XML, а также имеет редактор
JSON и вьювер.

Information Typing Architecture). Он
содержит редактор WYSIWYG для XML-дизайна и обладает удобными сочетаниями клавиш для навигации.

Редактор имеет удобные для
начинающих структурированные средства просмотра для нод и атрибутов XML-данных. Также он обеспечивает простое встраивание роликов из Youtube, CSS3, markdown и поддержку
медиафайлов. Может быть использован в качестве PDF-редактора путем
преобразования XML в DITA, который визуализируется в формат PDF.

XMLSpy

XMLSpy
позиционируется как редактор JSON и XML со встроенным конструктором схем. Он поддерживает интеграцию с Visual Studio и Eclipse, а также имеет XPath
builder, валидатор и отладчик.

Редактор может
генерировать визуальные диаграммы из XML-данных.

Особенностью XMLSpy
является валидация XML SmartFix, которая обнаруживает ошибки и автоматически
применяет выбранные пользователем исправления.

ExtendsClass

ExtendsClass – это бесплатный набор инструментов для
разработчиков, позволяющий сравнивать ноды XML и визуализировать семантические
различия.

Инструмент XML diff
выполняет семантическое сравнение пары «атрибут-значение» у каждого объекта. Сравнение
затрагивает каждый узел в соответствии с его положением в массиве, а XML-строки
сортируются и форматируются, чтобы найти семантические различия, а не только
текстовые.

Editix

Editix – это
качественный XML-редактор с открытым исходным кодом и множеством функций, вроде редактирования XSLT, отладчика, редактора XQuery, редактора сетки, редактора визуальных схем и множеством других. Основным интерфейсом этого редактора является глобальное вью. Мануал
пользователя со скриншотами доступен по ссылке.

В последней версии предусмотрен
бесплатный онлайн-инструмент – XPath tester.
Разработчики также включили новую опцию – создание XML-документов из JSON и
построение схемы из XML-документа с помощью редактора схем W3C.

Code Beautify

Code beautify отлично подходит для
быстрого редактирования. Вы можете загрузить XML-файл по URL. Софт генерирует древовидное представление для XML, позволяет
конвертировать XML в JSON, поддерживает проверку синтаксиса XML, минификацию
и предоставляет онлайн-тестер
XPath.

Online XML Tools

Online XML Tools – набор XML-инструментов,
разработанных компанией Browserling. Он поддерживает следующие функции: prettify, minify,
validate, конвертацию XML в
YAML, JSON TSV, Base64, CSV и наоборот.

Заключение

Существует множество доступных приложений для редактирования XML. При выборе
лучшего из них для разработки стоит решить, хотите вы получить продукт, который не сильно ударит по бюджету команды, или тот, который дает крутые дополнительные возможности и требует минимальных затрат времени на использование.

Но руководство поставило задачу найти бесплатный аналог. Результатом поиска краткий обзор бесплатных XML редакторов.

Требования.

— Работа с XML/XSLT/XSD
— Удобный редактор с подсказками и подсветкой
— XSLT процессор и дебагер.

Обзор

Exchanger XML Lite V3.2. Возникли проблемы с установкой. Инсталляция проходила почти до конца и замирала. А жаль. По описанию на сайте у него очень богатый набор функций.

EditiX Lite Version. Хороший редактор. Умеет делать XSLT трансформации. Но подсказки выдаются в виде выделения похожих частей кода, а не выпадающим списком и табличного представления документа.

Serna Free. Этот редактор понравился мне меньше всех. Он прячет XML теги и жутко тормозит. Работать очень не удобно.

XML Marker. Очень понравился. Показывает XML в табличном виде доступном для редактирования. Жаль нет подсказок и возможности делать XSLT трансформации.

XMLPad. Понравился больше всех. Показывает XML в табличном виде и в виде дерева. Есть подсказки. Есть возможность делать XSLT трансформации.

Стравнение

Выводы

Ни один из рассмотренных бесплатных редакторов не может полностью заменить хороший платный редактор. Больше всех поставленным требованиям соответствует XMLPad. Но XML Marker можно одновременно редактировать код и видеть результат в табличном виде.

P.S. Уважаемые читатели если вы знаете хороший бесплатный редактор, то пишите в комментариях. С удовольствием дополню обзор.

UPD. Письма читателей.

Добрый день Александр,

Не являюсь участником сообщества "Хабрахабр", поэтому, с Вашего позволения реагирую почтой на Ваш пост.

Хотел бы отметить, что Ваш обзор редактора Syntext Serna в разрезе редактора XML-файлов абсолютно некорректен.
Основное назначение Syntext Serna -- не редактирование XML-конфигов или создание файлов XML Scheme и XSLT, а
визуальное создание и поддержка документации в формате XML (например, DocBook или DITA). Именно поэтому "Он прячет XML теги" (цитата), т.к.
основным пользователем редактора является технический писатель, которому не нужно иметь глубокие знания XML и уж
тем более, допускать ошибки в несбалансированных тэгах. Если требуется поправить XML-документ в невизуальном режиме,
то для этих целей в Syntext Serna существует режим "Plain mode".

Если возможно, буду благодарен, если разместите данное замечание в Вашем посте.

Спасибо,
