Continuing a 10-year tradition of innovation and excellence, Stylus Studio 2007 Release 2 is packed with many exciting <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_product_new_features.html" target="_blank">new features</a> and enhancements geared towards enhancing XML developer productivity through innovation. Here are just some of the highlights of our newest Stylus Studio release:<br /><ul><li><strong>Query Plan</strong>: Stylus Studio 2007 XML Enterprise Suite, Release 2 introduces a new query plan utility. The new Plan tab in the <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xquery_editor.html" target="_blank">XQuery Editor</a> lets you visualize query execution plans and gain valuable insight into how <a href="http://www.xquery.com/" target="_blank">DataDirect XQuery</a> will execute your XQuery application, including seeing the type of SQL statements that are used to access relational data, when XML streaming is being used, which temporary tables are being created, when variables are being called, and more. Query plan support is available for any XQuery that uses the DataDirect XQuery processor. </li><li><strong>Support for Grouping Data Sources in XML Publisher</strong>: In Stylus Studio 2007 XML Enterprise Suite, Release 2, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/publisher.html" target="_blank">XML Publisher</a> lets you create even more advanced reports through support for grouping data from nodes in one or more data sources. Using the new Create Relationship Dialog Box, you visually define relationships between different data sources, or between different data islands within the same source and then add those relationships to your XML reports using simple drag-and-drop functionality. And XQuery and XSLT code generation for HTML+CSS and XSL-FO is still just a click away. </li><li><strong>Support for Gigabyte Size XML Files</strong>: Stylus Studio 2007 XML Enterprise Suite, Release 2 implements new optimizations that permit the editing of huge XML documents. (This isn't marketing hyperbole – we're talking documents in the multi-gigabyte range!) Previous versions of Stylus Studio were no slouches, but editing tended to be limited to documents of around several hundred megabytes. With the new enhancements, significantly larger XML documents can be handled with ease, and at quicker execution times than experienced before. </li><li><strong>Bundled DataDirect XML Converters 3.0</strong>: <a href="http://www.xmlconverters.com/" target="_blank">DataDirect XML Converters</a> are high-performance Java and .NET components that provide bi-directional, programmatic access to virtually any non-XML file including <a href="http://www.xmlconverters.com/standards/edifact/" target="_blank">EDIFACT</a>, <a href="http://www.xmlconverters.com/standards/x12/" target="_blank">X12</a>, <a href="http://www.xmlconverters.com/standards/iata/" target="_blank">IATA</a>, <a href="http://www.xmlconverters.com/standards/eancom/" target="_blank">EANCOM</a> and <a href="http://www.xmlconverters.com/standards/flat-files/" target="_blank">flat files</a> — but what if you need to work with some other proprietary data format? Stylus Studio® 2007 XML Enterprise Suite, Release 2 provides powerful integrated tools for visually developing your own custom XML conversions, extending DataDirect XML Converters to work with virtually any kind of legacy file. Additionally, integration with our code generator and <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/pipeline.html" target="_blank">XML Pipeline</a> tools further simplifies XML data integration application development process.</li><li><strong>Bundled DataDirect XQuery 3.0</strong>: <a href="http://www.xquery.com/" target="_blank">DataDirect XQuery</a> is an implementation of XQuery that can query XML, relational data, SOAP messages, EDI, or a combination of data sources. And the latest version of this powerful XQuery processor, DataDirect XQuery 3.0, is bundled with Stylus Studio 2007 XML Enterprise Suite, putting the fastest, most reliable, and most scalable XQuery support for all major relational databases at your fingertips. </li></ul><p>We could keep writing about the exciting <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_product_new_features.html" target="_blank">new features</a> in Stylus Studio 2007 Release 2, but why not see for yourself and <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_download.html" target="_blank">download</a> a free trial or <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/buy/" target="_blank">purchase</a> a license from our online shop today! </p><p><strong>2) Stylus Studio 2007 Release 2 Limited-Time Introductory Pricing Details</strong></p><p>Stylus Studio has announced introductory pricing for our award-winning XML IDE!

Hey, that's us! Stylus Studio is the product of the year! Naturally, we're very excited! And you should be too...<br /><br />We've felt for a long time (ok, we've known it, right down to our bones) that Stylus Studio is the leading XML IDE, so we weren't taken entirely by surprise when we learned of getting this award. With full support for emerging W3C standards, a completely integrated suite of <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_feature_overview.html" target="_blank">tools</a>, Java code generation for XSLT, XQuery, and XML Pipelines, and so much more, and all for a single <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/buy/" target="_blank">low price</a>, we knew we offered tremendous <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_benefits.html" target="_blank">value</a> and competency. Still, to be <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/press/2006_12_20_product_of_the_year.html" target="_blank">recognized</a> as the leader in a crowded field of contenders (Stylus Studio! Product of the Year! Ok, so it's still sinking in…) is no small accomplishment. Of course, we have to thank the CRN staff, our distributor partners and our loyal <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/customers/" target="_blank">customers</a> for your support, comments, and suggestions – you play no small role in the ongoing <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_benefits.html" target="_blank">innovation</a> that has long been a hallmark of Stylus Studio.<br /><br />So, what does "<a href="http://www.crn.com/sections/security/security.jhtml?articleId=196603828" target="_blank">Product of the Year</a>" really mean? What does it mean for you?<br />It means that by using Stylus Studio for all of your Web Development needs, you are using the BEST product on the market! Bar none.

Do you have a personal computer with Internet access? Then have we got a deal for you. Stylus Studio has three new, fun, and exciting videos — one look, and you'll see for yourself why Stylus Studio pulled down CRN Magazine's top award for <a href="http://www.crn.com/sections/security/security.jhtml?articleId=196603828" target="_blank">Product of the Year</a>.<br /><br />Let's start from the beginning... Do you have data over there, maybe in a relational database; and you need to get it over here, say in <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_to_pdf.html" target="_blank">PDF</a> or HTML? Watch this new <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/publisher1/publisher1.html" target="_blank">video tutorial</a> and see for yourself how Stylus Studio's <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/publisher.html" target="_blank">XML Publisher</a> can help you solve tough <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/single_source_publishing.html" target="_blank">single-source publishing</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/multi_channel_publishing.html" target="_blank">multi-channel publishing</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/content_management.html" target="_blank">content management</a>, and other <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/publishing.html" target="_blank">XML publishing</a> application challenges. With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, graphic WYSIWYG editing controls, and seamless access to XML and non-XML data sources, it's <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/publisher1/publisher1.html" target="_blank">easy to see</a> why XML Publisher is a must-have tool for building data integration applications in today's web-centric world.<br />But wait – there's more :)<br /><br />Individual XML transformations – the <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xquery.html" target="_blank">XQuery</a> and <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xslt.html" target="_blank">XSLT backbone</a> of most <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/applications.html" target="_blank">XML applications</a> – can be difficult enough to tackle (though Stylus Studio's <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_to_xml_mapper.html" target="_blank">XML Mappers</a> can have you creating even complex code in a few short minutes), and putting them together? It's a scary thought for even the most seasoned XML developer… until now. Stylus Studio's <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/pipeline.html" target="_blank">XML Pipeline Editor</a> is a powerful visual data integration tool for designing, editing, debugging, and deploying complete XML applications. XML Pipeline development is an expansive topic, and that's why we've devoted two online video tutorials to XML Pipeline application development.<br /><br />The first XML Pipeline online <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/pipeline2/pipeline2.html" target="_blank">video tutorial</a> covers the design and deployment of a data integration application that aggregates information from various heterogeneous data sources, including <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/csv_to_xml.html" target="_blank">CSV</a> and <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/edi/" target="_blank">EDI</a>, then publishes the result to both HTML and PDF. It sounds complex, but as you'll <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/pipeline2/pipeline2.html" target="_blank">see in the video</a>, if you can drag and drop (you can drag and drop, can't you?), you can <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/pipeline2/pipeline2.html" target="_blank">build an XML Pipeline application</a>.<br /><br />The second XML Pipeline online <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/pipeline3/pipeline3.html" target="_blank">video tutorial</a> covers <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/pipeline3/pipeline3.html" target="_blank">advanced features</a> and use cases of XML Pipeline application development – including cross-language debugging and Java code generation for easy deployment. See for yourself how <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/videos/pipeline3/pipeline3.html" target="_blank">easy</a> it is to build an XML Pipeline that converts text and EDI to XML and then uses XSLT and XQuery to create PDF and HTML reports.<br /><br />Watch these videos and we think you'll agree that the XML Pipeline Editor, along with all of Stylus Studio's other powerful and easy to use features, helps make Stylus Studio the world's leading data integration tool, ideal for simplifying <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/etl/" target="_blank">ETL</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/eii/" target="_blank">EII</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/eai/" target="_blank">EAI</a> and other types of <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/deployment/" target="_blank">data integration</a> applications.<br /><br />To view these and other Stylus Studio online video tutorials, visit Stylus Studio's <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_videos.html" target="_blank">XML video tutorial library</a>.

The latest release of the worldwide popular and award-winning XML IDE offers completely new <a title="Pipeline XML" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/pipeline.html">XML Pipeline</a> and <a title="XML Publishing" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/publishing.html">XML Publishing</a> tools, and it is being heralded by the company as being the single biggest and most significant release in Stylus Studio's 10 year history.<br /><br />The Stylus Studio XML Pipeline tool is a powerful <a title="XML Application" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/applications.html">XML application design</a> tool that lets software architects design XML data services at a higher and more integrated level than ever before. Rather than manually editing individual stylesheets, queries, schemas, Web services, and other pieces of XML applications, Stylus Studio XML Pipeline editor allows developers to quickly and easily model their entire application as a sequence of different <a title="Processing XML" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/processing.html">XML processing</a> tasks. For example, a typical XML application might involve <a title="How to Convert to XML" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/convert_to_xml.html">converting legacy data</a> into an XML format, <a title=" XSD Validation" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/open_xsd_validation.html">validating</a> the resulting XML document, then transforming it to HTML or PDF using <a title="XQuery Tools" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xquery.html">XQuery</a> or <a title="XSLT Tools" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xslt.html">XSLT</a>. Using the Stylus Studio XML Pipeline tool, developers can visually assemble such an application by dragging and dropping dozens of common <a title="XML Operations" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/operations.html">XML operations</a> from a tools palette onto a canvas and simply wiring them together according to the application's business requirements. Developers can also drag XQuery, XSLT, and other XML documents from a file system and drop them directly on the XML Pipeline canvas.<br /><br />The Stylus Studio XML Pipeline tool seamlessly integrates all of Stylus Studio's powerful <a title="XSLT Debugger" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xslt_debugger.html">XSLT debugging</a> and <a title="XQuery Debugger" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xquery_debugger.html">XQuery debugging</a> tools and utilities, enabling users to debug the entire application as a whole, or individual components or chains of components, by setting breakpoints where they choose. And when it comes to getting the XML application out of the lab and into the real world, Stylus Studio provides integrated <a title="Generating Java Code" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/java_code_generation.html">Java Code Generation</a> tools to automatically generate the required code to deploy and run the entire XML application in a production environment. The Stylus Studio XML application debugging and code generation tools provide unparalleled extensibility, offering seamless integration with the world's leading XML, XQuery, XSL and XSLT processors including <a class="extLink" title="Link opens in new window" href="http://www.xquery.com" target="_blank">DataDirect XQuery</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xslt/xalan.html">Apache Xalan</a>, <a title="Xerces Java" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/xerces.html">Apache Xerces</a>, <a title="Microsoft .NET XML Tools for System.XML 1.0 and System.XML 2.0" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/microsoft/systemxml.html">Microsoft .NET</a>, <a title="Microsoft XML Parser" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/microsoft/msxml.html">MSXML</a>, <a title="Saxon XSLT Processor" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/saxon_xslt_processor.html">Saxon XSLT</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/saxon_xquery_processor.html">Saxon XQuery</a>, <a title="Using Stylus Studio with RenderX XEP" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/renderx/xep.html">RenderX XEP</a>, <a title="XSV" href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml_schema/xsv.html">XSV</a>, and others.

This allows the same engine to work with DTD, XML Schema, and even Relax/NG. Because of this multiple personality, it's called the Sun Multi Schema Validator, or <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/msv.html">MSV</a> for short. Since each validator implements some slight variation of the standard, it's often useful to check schemas against more than one validator to catch problems that one might miss. Stylus Studio has published a <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/msv.html">new tutorial</a> on how to use the Multi-Schema Validator - learn how to leverage these two tools togeter today!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19163817-115515198755176867?l=stylusxml.blogspot.com'/></div>Stylus Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12070857095684795220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163817.post-1152827492951658212006-07-13T14:47:00.000-07:002006-07-13T14:51:32.980-07:00Independence Week SaleCelebrate your <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/declaration_of_independence.html">independence</a> from incomplete and over-priced XML tools with the new Stylus Studio 2006 Release 3 and the Independence Day Sale - going on now at the Stylus Studio <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/buy/">online shop</a>.

The new release includes powerful new XML tools, enhancements to Stylus Studio XML Deployment Components, and support for many widely-used data processing components for working with <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xquery.html">XQuery</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xsl_fo_processing.html">XSL:FO</a>, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/edi/">EDI</a> and <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xslt.html">XSLT</a> technologies.<br /><br />"XML tools cannot exist in a vacuum - they must provide scalable deployment options and seamless integration with the industry-leading XML processing components that developers use in real-world applications. Relying on XML tools based exclusively on home-grown, <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/altovaxml.html">proprietary XML implementations</a> may work in theory, but can result in serious scalability and standards compliance problems when it comes time to deploy your application. In Stylus Studio 2006 Release 3, we've updated our <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/deployment/">XML Deployment Components</a> and our support for popular processing components including <a href="http://www.datadirect.com/products/xquery/index.ssp">DataDirect XQuery™</a>, RenderX XEP, Saxon, and others," said Robert Evelyn, VP and General Manager of DataDirect's XML Products Group. "The market's response to Stylus Studio 2006 has been tremendous, and we're confident that developers will be impressed with the new capabilities found in this latest release - it's a refreshing alternative to incomplete and over-priced XML tools."<br /><br /><strong>New in Stylus Studio® 2006 Release 3</strong><br /><br />The following are just some of the highlights of the many new features and enhancements included in Stylus Studio 2006 Release 3 XML Enterprise Edition:<br /><br />- Support for DataDirect XQuery 2.0, an implementation of XQuery that can query XML, relational data, SOAP messages, EDI, or a combination of data sources, creating XML as the result of queries. .<br />- Bundling of the RenderX Personal Edition XSL:FO processor for developing XML Publishing Applications including transforming XML to PDF.<br />- New XPath Query Editor, a new feature that provides multi-line editing; Sense:X auto-completion for syntax, functions, and axis; support for user-defined namespace prefixes; and more.<br />- New Java™ APIs for the Stylus Studio XML Deployment Components that make programmatic access to EDI / X12 / EDIFACT and other legacy data formats faster and easier than before.<br />- Support for the Saxon 8.7.1 XSLT and XQuery Processor<br />- Support for DataDirect Connect® for JDBC 3.6 for relational database access<br />- Executing and debugging support for System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform on the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.<br />- Support for Window Themes and Docking window auto-hide like Visual Studio 2005<br />- Enhanced relational database access in XQuery Editor and XQuery Mapper through seamless integration with DataDirect XQuery 2.0.<br />- Web service tools now supports additional legacy SOAP encoding styles (RPC/Literal, RPC/Encoded) and the ability to introspect XML schema types either embedded in the WSDL or included/imported from external schemas.<br /><br />Stylus Studio 2006 XML Enterprise Edition is available <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/buy/">today</a>!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19163817-115020855166083279?l=stylusxml.blogspot.com'/></div>Stylus Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12070857095684795220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163817.post-1149013091323668882006-05-30T11:15:00.000-07:002006-05-30T13:46:08.623-07:00Stylus Studio May 2006 Newsletter<p>cDear Stylus Studio Friends -<br /><br />The May 2006 issue of the Stylus Scoop has been <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/scoop/may2006.html">published</a>.
