Welcome to Liquid Studio

Liquid Studio provides an advanced toolkit for XML and JSON development along with Web Service Testing, Data Mapping and Data Transformation tools.

The Development Environment contains a complete set of tools for designing XML and JSON data structures and schemas. These tools provide editing, validating and advanced transformation capabilities. For novice or expert, the intuitive interface and comprehensive features will help you save time and money delivering a successful project.

Liquid Studio features include:

XML

Graphical XML Schema (XSD) Editor

The Graphical XML Schema Editor (XSD) abstracts much of the complexity of the XSD standard, presenting structure of the schema without showing the unnecessary complexity.

• A graphical visualization of your XML Schema.
  • Graphical representations of all XML Schema Element and Data Type content.
  • In-place name and type editing.
• A text representation of your XML Schema.
  • Auto-complete Intellisense.
  • Color coded syntax highlighting.
• Global Component Locator to quickly find content across multiple included schema.
• Property Grid to allow quick editing of the selected items properties and facets.

Graphical XML Document Editor

The Graphical XML Document Editor provides a convenient way to edit your XML documents as a grid of trees of tables.

• A graphical visualization of your XML Document.
  • Tree and tabular grid views.
• A text representation of your XML Document.
  • Auto-complete Intellisense.
  • Color coded syntax highlighting.
• XML Document validation against the XSD schema.
• Well Formed XML Document validation.
• XML Document formatting (pretty printing).

JSON

Graphical JSON Schema Editor

The Graphical JSON Schema Editor abstracts much of the complexity of the JSON standard, presenting structure of the schema without showing the unnecessary complexity.

• A graphical visualization of your JSON Schema.
  • Graphical representations of all JSON Schema Element and Data Type content.
  • In-place name and type editing.
• A text representation of your JSON Schema.
  • Auto-complete Intellisense.
  • Color coded syntax highlighting.
• Property Grid to allow quick editing of the selected items properties and facets.

Graphical JSON Document Editor

The Graphical JSON Document Editor provides a convenient way to edit your JSON documents as a grid of trees of tables.

• A graphical visualization of your XML Document.
  • Tree and tabular grid views.
• A text representation of your XML Document.
  • Auto-complete Intellisense.
  • Color coded syntax highlighting.
• XML Document validation against the XSD schema.
• Well Formed XML Document validation.
• XML Document formatting (pretty printing).

Web Service Testing

Graphical Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) Editor

The Graphical Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) Editor abstracts much of the complexity of the WSDL standard, presenting structure of the schema without showing the unnecessary complexity.

• A graphical visualization of your WSDL.
  • Graphical representations of all WSDL content.
• A text representation of your XML Schema.
  • Auto-complete Intellisense.
  • Color coded syntax highlighting.

Web Service Test Client

The Web Service Test Client provides a convenient way to connect to a web service, select a given web method and call it.

• Supports REST Web Service Testing.
• Supports SOAP Web Service Testing.
• Supports Soap 1.1, Soap 1.2, HTTP GET & HTTP POST.
• Creates sample requests from OpenAPI (Swagger) definition, WADL and WSDL files.

Data Mapping and Data Transformation

Graphical Data Mapper

• A graphical visualization of data mapping between multiple data sources and targets.
  • Drag and drop interface for data mapping.
• Supports Database, EDI, Text File, Web Services and XML data transformations.
• Generates mapping code in XSLT and C#.

XQuery and XSLT Step Through Debuggers

• Supports XQuery 1.0 and XSLT 1.0 & 2.0.
• Provides essential debugging functionality: breakpoints, local variables, local content, watch expressions, call stack.
• Choice of XSLT engines.

Data Comparison

Data Differencing Tool

• Supports comparing XML, JSON and Text File.
• Advanced heuristic algorithms are used to examine the source files to determine whether attributes and elements are new, deleted or have moved..
• A host of XML aware options allow you to filter out the changes that are not of interest (e.g. whitespace, comments, or processor directives).
