How does MapForce compare to XMLSpys code generator?
MapForce is a code generator for data integration projects, helping programmers and database developers get their data from XML / database / flat file / EDI / Excel 2007+ / XBRL sources to database, flat file, EDI, XBRL, or XML targets. MapForce also supports code generation for implementing Web services on a server. XMLSpy also has a code generator, but it is more commonly used for binding XML Schema data models to XML program class files (in C# / C++ / Java). Both XMLSpy® 2010 and MapForce are highly complementary; using them together, a software developer could autogenerate much of the code needed for an XML-enabled application, including the code to marshal data from different sources. XMLSpy also includes a visual WSDL editor, which, when combined with the Web services code generation capabilities in MapForce, allows developers to build Web services from start to finish – without having to write a single line of code. XMLSpy and MapForce are part of the Altova® MissionKit® 2010. G
