About DocFlex/XSD II

What is DocFlex/XSD?

DocFlex/XSD is a toolkit to generate high quality XML schema documentation.

Basically, it is a single name given to a group of features of DocFlex/XML (a universal XML documentation/report generator), which include the following:

#	Feature	Description
1	DocFlex/XML XSDDoc	A template set for DocFlex/XML that implements a very powerful XML Schema Documentation Generator able to produce both multi-framed Javadoc-like HTML and printable RTF documentation.
2	DocFlex/XML Generator	The template interpreter + output generators that make everything work.
3	Ant/Maven Integrations	Allow you to run the documentation generator from your Ant/Maven build.
4	XMLSpy Integration	Automatically inserts graphic diagrams produced by Altova XMLSpy into documentation generated by XSDDoc (with the full support of diagram hyperlinks).
5	OxygenXML Integration	Automatically inserts graphic diagrams produced by Oxygen XML Editor into documentation generated by XSDDoc (with the full support of diagram hyperlinks).
6	Template Designer	Provides a GUI to create/modify templates (e.g. XSDDoc).

Why “DocFlex/XSD II” name?

Some time ago we provided a separate edition of DocFlex/XML called "DocFlex/XSD", which included some of those features (specifically 1, 2, and 6). You can still find references to it in Internet. So, this may be considered as a new version (or generation) of the same thing. That's why the “II” has been added.

However, maintaining a separate edition is currently not effective. We just replaced it with a more flexible licensing system. Yet, a single name is still needed to designate the whole functionality especially for marketing/promotion purposes.

What is DocFlex/XSD version number?

It is the version number of the main component: DocFlex/XML XSDDoc template set, which implements the XML schema doc-generator itself.
