Sense:X: Intelligent XML Editing

Sense:X is Stylus Studio® X14 XML's implementation of Intelligent XML Editing. It is much more than XML syntax coloring, XML code sensing, and XML code completion, however. Think of Sense:X as your very own, personal XML guide, right there at your fingertips, helping you get through any XML development challenge.

Intelligent XML Schema/DTD-Aware Code Sensing and Auto-Completion

Stylus Studio® X14 XML's Sense:X is vastly superior to other XML editors' so-called "intelligent XML editing."

Here are a just a few examples:

• Intelligent Code Sensing: While you edit, Stylus Studio® displays a combo box of only those elements and attributes that are in scope (as determined from the XML document's model), relative to your cursor position. After all, what good is code sensing if your XML editor shows you every element and attribute, without respect to context?
• Intelligent Code Completion: Other editors blindly insert a closing element tag every time you enter an opening element tag. Only Stylus Studio® with Sense:X is smart enough to correctly infer when you intend to close a particular tag, and only insert the closing tag at that time.
• Automatic reloading of XML Schema/DTD: With Stylus Studio® and Sense:X, there's no need to manually close and re-open your XML documents after you make a change to your XML document's XML Schema or DTD. Stylus Studio® reloads XML Schemas and DTDs automatically when it detects a change.

You can customize the appearance of all of Stylus Studio®'s editors individually. Fonts, newline format, file extensions, and so on, are all independently configurable for Stylus Studio®'s XML Editor, XSLT Editor, and XQuery Editor.

Support for Any XML Validator or XML Processor

Sense:X works with any underlying XML validation or transformation engine, including MSXML, Microsoft .NET XML (System.XML), Xerces, Xalan, Saxon, XSV, and others.

Sense:X for Databases, XSLT, XQuery, XPath, Java, JSP and Web Services!

Sense:X isn't limited to the XML text editor - we've implemented intelligent XML editing throughout all of our XML editing modules, including our XSLT Editor, XQuery Editor, XPath Evaluator, Java Editor, JSP Editor, Database-to-XML editor, and many others!

Overall, Stylus Studio® X14 XML's Sense:X Technology
