XMLProbe provides a platform-independent, standards-based solution adhering to a strict 'XML in; XML out' philosophy.
Platform requirements
XMLProbe 1.5 is 100% Java and runs on the Java platform, JDK version 1.5 or above. If you require customisation for earlier JDK versions, please contact us.
Platform options
XMLProbe 1.5 is supplied in an all-in-one distribution that includes open source XML processing software so that it is ready-to-run right away. If you wish to use XML processing software other than that we have supplied (e.g. a different parser), this option is available through our strict use of standard Java APIs and our design for extensibility.
User & developer requirements
XMLProbe 1.5 is supplied with a ready-to-run command line interface. To use this tool with pre-written QA scripts users will need to be:
- Comfortable running command-line utilities
To author QA rules, users will in addition need to be:
- Reasonably knowledgeable about XML at a technical level
- Experienced with using the XPath 1.0 language (all XSLT users will be familiar with this!)
To customise XMLProbe 1.5, extend the XPath language, or integrate XMLProbe 1.5 into existing systems, developers will in addition need to be:
- Experienced in developing with XML, Java and Java APIs
XMLProbe 1.5 also comes with a bunch of sample rule sets and XSLT stylesheets. For more details see:
