Stylus Studio Releases All-New XML Pipeline and XML Publishing Tools to Simplify XML DevelopmentStylus Studio® 2007 XML Enterprise Suite - Most Significant Release in Stylus Studio's 10 Year History, Offers World's First Truly Integrated Development Environment for Modeling, Editing, Debugging, and Deploying Entire XML Applications Bedford, MA, September 25, 2006 – Stylus Studio (http://www.stylusstudio.com), the industry-leading provider of XML tools and components for advanced data integration, today announced the immediate availability of Stylus Studio® 2007 XML Enterprise Suite. The latest release of the worldwide popular and award-winning XML IDE offers completely new XML Pipeline and XML Publishing tools, and it is being heralded by the company as being the single biggest and most significant release in Stylus Studio's 10 year history. The Stylus Studio XML Pipeline tool is a powerful XML application design tool that lets software architects design XML data services at a higher and more integrated level than ever before. Rather than manually editing individual stylesheets, queries, schemas, Web services, and other pieces of XML applications, Stylus Studio XML Pipeline editor allows developers to quickly and easily model their entire application as a sequence of different XML processing tasks. For example, a typical XML application might involve converting legacy data into an XML format, validating the resulting XML document, then transforming it to HTML or PDF using XQuery or XSLT. Using the Stylus Studio XML Pipeline tool, developers can visually assemble such an application by dragging and dropping dozens of common XML operations from a tools palette onto a canvas and simply wiring them together according to the application's business requirements. Developers can also drag XQuery, XSLT, and other XML documents from a file system and drop them directly on the XML Pipeline canvas. The Stylus Studio XML Pipeline tool seamlessly integrates all of Stylus Studio's powerful XSLT debugging and XQuery debugging tools and utilities, enabling users to debug the entire application as a whole, or individual components or chains of components, by setting breakpoints where they choose. And when it comes to getting the XML application out of the lab and into the real world, Stylus Studio provides integrated Java Code Generation tools to automatically generate the required code to deploy and run the entire XML application in a production environment. The Stylus Studio XML application debugging and code generation tools provide unparalleled extensibility, offering seamless integration with the world's leading XML, XQuery, XSL and XSLT processors including DataDirect XQuery, Apache Xalan, Apache Xerces, Microsoft .NET, MSXML, Saxon XSLT, Saxon XQuery, RenderX XEP, XSV, and others. Furthermore, integration with DataDirect XML Converters™ enables seamless access to any data source including EDI and flat files. Stylus Studio 2007 XML Enterprise Suite takes XML application development to the next level, providing an intuitive and productive environment for building complete XML applications, including modeling, editing, debugging, and deploying an entire XML application, thus making the Stylus Studio product the world's first truly integrated XML Application Development Environment. The Stylus Studio XML Publisher product is a powerful XML report designer that allows users to create advanced document layouts for use in single-source publishing, content management, and multi-channel publishing applications. Using an intuitive visual interface, business users can easily design rich document layouts to publish XML content to PDF, HTML, Postscript and many other document formats using XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, or XQuery 1.0. The Stylus Studio XML Publisher product supports numerous heterogeneous data sources including relational databases; XML databases; Web services; EDI, EDIFACT, X12, CSV and other flat file formats; as well as XML and XML Schema documents. "Simply put – if XML standards compliance, developer productivity, application scalability, and getting true value for your money matter to you and your organization, then buy Stylus Studio 2007 XML Enterprise Suite today," said Robert Evelyn, DataDirect VP Strategy and General Manager XML Products Group.
