What's new

Liquid XML Studio 2010 extends and improves on the existing functionality by introducing other new tools and technologies that our users have requested in order to continue to make Liquid XML Studio the best value XML development environment available.

Starter Edition

Entry level IDE that is ideal for the Home or Educational user or light Business user, priced at only £65. Unlike some competing products it is licensed for commercial use.

WSDL Editor

This new feature, available in the Designer & Developer Editions, is a Graphical WSDL (Web Services Description Language) Editor which greatly simplifies the task of designing complex WSDL. Full syntax validation, drag and drop functionality combined with the visual layout makes this an essential tool for facilitating standards based communications.

Editor Views

All Editors now offer 3 windows - design, split and source code views which are synchronised in realtime as you edit and update. Thus making it far easier to edit and design.

Schema Library Agent

Available in all Editions, this new feature gives access to all the Schemas stored in the online Liquid Schema Library. Open the Schema you require and simply select the components you need.  This greatly reduces the time taken to take on board new Schema Standards. The online Schema Library contains over 80 industry schemas and will readily accept new standards for upload.

XHTML Editor

With Liquid XML Studio XHTML Editor you can easily create, edit, test and validate XHTML documents. The editor is included in all editions of Liquid XML Studio.

Visual Studio 2010

The plugins available in the Designer & Developer Editions will also be supported in Visual Studio 2010 after its general release.
