XMLQuire Web Edition

XMLQuire Web Edition: A Free XSLT 2.0 Editor for the Web

From the webpage:

XSLT 2.0 processing within the browser is now a reality with the introduction of the open source Saxon-CE from Saxonica. This processor runs as a JavaScript app and supports JavaScript interoperability and user-event handling for the era of HTML5 and the dynamic web.

This Windows product, XMLQuire, is an XSLT edtior specially extended to integrate with Saxon-CE and support the Saxon-CE language extensions that make interactive XSLT possible. Saxon-CE is not included with this product, but is available from Saxonica here.

*nix folks will have to install Windows 7 or 8 on a VM to take advantage of this software.

Worth the effort if for no other reason than to see how the market majority lives. 😉

I first saw this in a tweet by Michael Kay.

  1. Thanks for mentioning XMLQuire Web Edition.

    Though this is a Windows app, the main motivation for this was to provide a test for the OS independent System Programming Interface for Saxon-CE, which I was working with Saxonica on at the time. Hopefully there will soon be native *nix XSLT editors that exploit this same interface to bridge between the browser/Saxon-CE and the editor:

  2. Looking forward to a *nix version!

    In the meantime, I need to install Windows 7 via a VM and then install XMLQuire.

    I was serious about the market share remark. I prefer *nix software but targeting a minority market exclusively has its consequences.

    I keep looking for the day when Windows is a shell on top of a *nix distribution. 😉
