xsl easy description
A visual transformation designer of XML data

The XSL:Easy was designed to be a tool for visual design of XML data transformations. It offers user-friendly, graphical way to create powerful XSLT stylesheets.

Here are some key features of "xsl:easy":

· Visual data mapping
· Quick design of XSLT stylesheets without writing code
· XML and XSD support
· Preview of the results within the application
· Conversion between XML and non-XML formats
· Extensible plug-in adapter architecture
· Database and Web service connectivity
· Processing CSV files
· Reading XML files from URL
· Switching between the graphical and source code mode
· Context sensitive XSLT editor
· Syntax highlight, code completion
· XML and XSLT validation
· Drag & drop XPaths from source schema tree
· Command line interface for batch and scheduled execution


Design XSLT stylesheets in a quick and intuitive way
Define the relationships between the source and target XML format graphically - using simple drag&drop element mapping. This approach enables less experienced users to create working XSLT stylesheet quickly, and without writing code. More experienced users will benefit from accelerated development and possibility to have visual overview of the XSLT stylesheet.

Preview the results
When designing an XSLT stylesheet, xsl:easy allows you to execute the transformation and preview the output in the integrated result viewer. The output preview is rendered automatically according to the specified output type (e.g. HTML, text, SVG) or you can switch to view the output source. Executing transformations in the development environment helps you to test and tweak the designed transformation.

Access various data sources
xsl:easy comes bundled with a set of adapters for accessing various data sources such as databases, Web services, CSV files and more. The adapters convert other formats to and from XML. Once you have your data described in XML format, you can process them using standard XSLT transformation. Each adapter has a wizard that will guide you through the configuration process.

Automate transformations
With the included command line utility, you can execute transformations from the command line. Simply provide the input data and transformation stylesheet, and the xsl:easy command line utility performs the requested data transformation. Naturally you can use the power of all xsl:easy adapters. This allows you to include your transformations in more complex tasks involving scheduled execution and batch processing.

Customize your conversions
Adapter Development Kit, that is shipped as a part of xsl:easy installation gives the power of extending your data conversion possibilities into your own hands. It enables interested developers to create new endpoints for XSLT transformation in xsl:easy.
