The validation and processing in XMLSpy are powered by the Altova RaptorXML engine, which was written from the ground up to provide the closest possible standards conformance coupled with fast speeds.
However, because RaptorXML Server can utilize the processing power afforded by multi-CPU, multi-core servers, it can validate and process large jobs much faster than via single-core execution on the CPU in the developer’s machine. By connecting XMLSpy to a RaptorXML Server installed on your network, you can validate huge XML, XBRL, JSON, and Avro jobs, as well as perform XSLT and XQuery execution, at lightning speed – inside XMLSpy.
Integration with the popular SharePoint Server CMS gives you seamless access to the intelligent XML, XSD, and XSLT editing features of XMLSpy for your SharePoint content. Relevant support includes:
