Altova MapForce 2005 Professional Edition is the premier visual XML-to-XML mapping tool for converting XML data from one format to any another XML format and automatically generating XSLT 1.0/2.0 transformation code. MapForce 2005 is fully standards compliant and includes the first production-ready implementation of the W3C's XSLT 2.0 specification. MapForce 2005 began winning awards and rave reviews as soon as it was released. This graphical data integration tool is so powerful and so easy to use that it will soon rival Altova XMLSpy in popularity. You simply open your source and target XML Schemas, drop in data processing functions from the customizable libraries, and drag connecting lines between the elements that you wish to associate. MapForce 2005 automatically connects matching child elements. Popular function libraries come standard with MapForce 2005, and you can add existing XSLT functions into custom libraries. You can even create and save your own data processing functions, including some, such as 'add' and 'concat', with unlimited parameters. Once a mapping is defined, you can instantly preview the output. MapForce Professional Edition outputs an XML instance document based on your input and also auto-generates an XSLT stylesheet to use for recurrent transformations. MapForce 2005 supports advanced XML-to-XML transformations involving multiple input and output schemas, or advanced multi-pass data transformations (from schema, to schema, to schema, etc.), for which you just insert additional XML Schemas into MapForce 2005 and draw further mappings. Its unique graphical user interface and interactive output preview let you work in an intuitive, visual manner. Altova MapForce 2005 Professional Edition is the easiest and most straightforward way to perform XML-to-XML data mappings, making data integration difficulties history.
