Key Benefits of Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite

Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite main design goals were to maximize XML developer productivity, push innovation, and provide unquestioned value, which are the top needs for both software developers and managers alike.

Productivity

Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite can automate and accelerate the XML development process. XML's verbose self-describing syntax is generally cumbersome to work with manually, and is of course better suited for being developed with using an XML IDE. Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite consists of powerful XML editors, for example, an XML editor that allows users to work with XML in a variety of different XML editing views including text, XML grid, and tree views. Complex XML code - for XQuery, XSLT, XML Schema and more - can be intuitively developed using their respective editors, which support drag-and-drop or visual design operations. Productivity gains are also achieved using Stylus Studio®'s plentiful XML developer features, including code generation tools for automatically generating java code, XML Schemas and DTDs - and XML conversion utilities (import/export data wizards and HTML-to-XSLT conversions, or hundreds of other data conversion operations) which automate commonly performed developer tasks. Integrated support for concurrent source control versioning systems and a robust project window enable Stylus Studio® to be used on large software projects in real-world software development scenarios. Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite is the ultimate productivity enhancer for XML application development!

Innovation

The explosive growth of XML standards and their extensive adoption throughout enterprise computing requires an XML IDE that can provide comprehensive and innovative support for the newest XML technologies, and one capable of issuing timely product updates as XML specifications evolve. Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite has a long history of first-to-market achievements, including the first XML Pipeline, XSLT debugger, XSLT Mapper, and is by far the leading industry innovator in new XQuery tools and updated standards compliance. And on startup, Stylus Studio® notifies you if an update to your installed version is available, so you are never behind the curve in the rapidly evolving world of XML technology. Take a moment to view the complete list of innovative XML development features and productivity tools which makes the strongest, most versatile XML IDE available on the marketplace.

But recognizing that enterprise XML applications eventually need to be deployed to production environments which demand high scalability, Stylus Studio further pushes innovation with integrated support for DataDirect XML Converters™ — high-speed native Java and .NET components which expose a data conversion API which enable you to read and write any legacy data as XML from your Java or .NET programs or from within your XSLT or XQuery applications.

Value

At a retail price of just a few hundred dollars for a single user software license of Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite, Stylus Studio® offers unprecedented value as a true enterprise software development tool. (Volume software license discounts are also available.) But the value of a tool is not solely derived by merely weighing the cost of the software application against the types of productivity gains described earlier. Stylus Studio®'s vast collection of XML debuggers and testing utilities ensures correct program behavior and eliminates costly software bugs at the outset of the software development cycle, resulting in better quality code. Furthermore, the XML standards-based approach to software application development is fundamentally more cost effective then proprietary alternatives, enabling you to avoid the higher costs associated with single vendor traps and lock-ins. Finally, Stylus Studio® product support is offered free of charge, and the Stylus Studio® Developers Network offers numerous free developer resources, eliminating complicated and overpriced support and maintenance plans. Best of all, developers can download a free trial now. Overall, Stylus Studio® X16 XML Enterprise Suite provides compelling value in so many different aspects for developers and development managers alike.
