Intuitive productivity software for
XML, JSON, Data Integration and Web Services

XML IDE - JSON IDE

Liquid Studio is the best XML and JSON development environment on Windows for developing and testing XML and JSON related technology.

It includes Light and Dark themes as you would expect from a modern development tool, and has a highly configurable Windows layout with the ability to have dockable, floating or auto-hiding Views, along with customizable Toolbars.

The IDE supports the creation of projects to group your files together, this can link directly to source control products such as Git, SVN or Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control.

Very large files (4GB+) are easily handled by using the integrated Large File Editor.

It provides a powerful Find in Files tool to search through files at project level or anywhere on your local PC.

The text editors check spellings in real-time using an intelligent XML aware spell checker, underlining errors in the editor and providing suggestions via a right-click menu.

Navigation points are automatically created so you can easily move back and forth between all of the open documents, and multi-step undo/redo is also provided in the text editors and graphical views.

You can view the IDE in full screen mode, and also preview documents in the advanced print preview, so you can set the print options correctly before printing.

Microsoft Visual Studio Extensions are also provided for seamless integration into the familiar Visual Studio environment.

XML Schema Designer

Visualize, model and edit graphical and text representations of your XML Schema (XSD) in the split view editor. Changes made in the Design view are instantly reflected in the Code view.

Graphical modelling support is provided in the XML Schema editor for both the XSD 1.0 and XSD 1.1 W3C standards.

You can validate your XML Schema with either the Microsoft .Net (XSD 1.0) or Xerces (XSD 1.0 and XSD 1.1) W3C compliant validators.

An XML Schema documentation generator is also provided, enabling the generation of documentation as either a PDF document or a fully interactive HTML or ASP.Net web site using the XML Schema Documentation tool.

XML Schema Refactoring tools help you to globally rename items and convert types, elements and attributes.

XML Navigation aids are included to help you to move around complex XML Schema, including the Document Outline View, Breadcrumb Bar and Global Component Locator.

Hierarchies and inter dependencies of related XML Schema can be viewed using the Dependency Viewer and item usage can be quickly found using the Find References tool.

Wizard driven tools add the ability to quickly perform tasks such as the ability to generate sample XML documents from an XML Schema, convert an XML Schema to a JSON Schema, and add Imports/Includes an XML Schemas.

Text based editors are provided for DTD Schema, RelaxNG, Schematron and XDR.

XML and JSON Tools

Liquid Studio provides many time saving productivity tools:

• Web Service Test Client makes it quick and easy to make test REST or SOAP calls to a Web Service with XML or JSON data.
• XML Comparison is a tool which enables you to quickly compare XML files using an algorithm to highlight XML specific file differences.
• XML Schema Generator creates an XML Schema (XSD) from multiple sample XML documents.
• XML Sample Generator creates sample XML documents from an XML Schema (XSD).
• XPath Expression Builder is a tool which enables you to construct and view the results of an XPath query for a file open in an XML Editor view.
• JSON Comparison is a tool which enables you to quickly compare JSON files using an algorithm to highlight JSON specific file differences.
• JSON Schema Generator creates a JSON Schema from multiple sample JSON documents.
• JSON Sample Generator creates sample JSON documents from a JSON Schema.

JSON Schema Designer

Visualize, model and edit graphical and text representations of your JSON Schema in the split view editor. Changes made in the Design view are instantly reflected in the Code view.

Graphical modelling support is provided for all JSON Schema standards.

You can validate your JSON Schema with the industry standard Json.NET Schema from Newtonsoft.

A JSON Schema documentation generator is also provided, enabling the generation of documentation as either a PDF document or a fully interactive HTML or ASP.Net web site using the JSON Schema Documentation tool.

Wizard driven tools add the ability to quickly perform tasks such as the ability to generate sample JSON documents from a JSON Schema and convert a JSON Schema to a XML Schema.

Data Mapping Tool

Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) - Liquid Data Mapper is a powerful data mapping tool that enables you to integrate, map and transform your data between multiple data sources and targets. It is ideal for integrating with legacy systems.

The graphical display and simple drag and drop interface enables you to quickly map data of different types.

The Data Mapper supports mapping simple text and CSV, CSV files, Databases, EDI data, JSON data, Text files, Web Services and XML data.

You can execute the data transform with Liquid Studio, generate a command line executable, generate C# source code for use within your own application, or generate XSLT.

The Data Mapper includes a step through debugger with breakpoints, stack trace, state and variable watch windows. Making it simple to debug the transform and find any mapping issues.

Data Conversion Tools

Liquid Studio provides easy to use conversion tools to perform the following common data conversion tasks:

• Convert DTD to XSD
• Convert Fast Infoset to XML
• Convert JSON to XML
• Convert JSON to YAML
• Convert JSON Schema to XSD
• Convert XML to Fast Infoset
• Convert XML to JSON
• Convert XSD to JSON Schema
• Infer JSON Schema from JSON
• Infer XSD from XML

XSD to C++ Code Generator

Liquid XML Data Binding will generate C++ source code from an XML Schema in order to read XML Documents into a strongly typed object model within your C++ application. This enables you to easily support XML validation compliant with the W3C standard.

The code generation process can be performed via an easy to use Wizard or from the command line and supports very complex XML Schema.

Java and VB6 code generation is also supported, and you can also generate HTML documentation for your class library API.

The generated code also supports JSON serialization and Fast Infoset binary XML serialization.

The compiled C++ code that you generate and associated Liquid C++ Runtime can be distribution royalty free with your application.

XSD to C# Code Generator

Liquid XML Objects will generate C# source code from an XML Schema in order to read XML Documents into a strongly typed object model within your C# application. This enables you to easily support XML validation compliant with the W3C standard. Visual Basic .Net code generation is also supported.

It is a direct replacement for Microsoft Visual Studio's xsd.exe with enhanced functionality and support the XSD 1.1 W3C standard.

The code generation process can be performed via an easy to use Wizard or from the command line and supports very complex XML Schema.

Liquid XML Objects also integrates directly into Microsoft Visual Studio, making it simple to generate the C# code directly in your .Net Project.

The generated code also supports JSON serialization so you can round-trip XML to JSON.

The compiled C# or Visual Basic .Net code that you generate and associated Liquid .Net Runtime can be distribution royalty free with your application.

Visual Studio Tools

Liquid Studio integrates smoothly into Microsoft Visual Studio allowing you to develop your JSON and XML applications within the familiar Visual Studio environment.

Microsoft Visual Studio Extensions include:

• XML Schema Editor
• WSDL Editor
• XPath Expression Builder
• REST Web Service Test Client
• SOAP Web Service Test Client
• JSON Schema Editor
