If people are interested, I'll publish the source online (not on this list). But if I'm going to do that, I need to know what features people would find most helpful for their XML development / debugging.
The list of form features that seem most helpful to me:
- Simple creation of xml nodes.
- XML function reference. I'm thinking I will just link to PHP's online documentation here.
- Full qname expansion. Some xml documents use namespaces; with this users can click on a localname and see the resolved qname.
- XPath highlighting. Enter an XPath expression for your document, and the script returns the source with all matching nodes highlighted.
- Validation, with syntax highlighting when an error is found.
I also might do:
- XSLT function reference.
- Before & after snapshots of an XSL transformation on a given xml document. Perhaps this would also allow the user to click on one of the xml nodes from the new document and see which transformation affected this node.
By creating an html form to handle this generation, I'm hoping that myself and other people will be able to solve more of their xml problems on their own. Comments? Suggestions?
