Download XML Nanny 2.0

XML Nanny is a handy tool that makes it possible to validate XHTML and XML documents for their ‘Well-Formedness’. The program is only available for the Mac OS X platform and can validate the various documents both locally and over the network. The developer has released XML Nanny 2.0 which has changed a lot. For example, Relax NG and Schematron 1.5 are supported and many small improvements can be found. The announcement looks like this:

Version 2.0:

I’m very proud to announce version 2.0 of XML Nanny, my free Mac OS X desktop app for parsing and validating XML documents locally or on the Web. XML Nanny is powered by libxml2 and Xerces-C++ and provides validation support for DTD, WXS, Schematron, and RELAX NG compact and XML syntaxes. See the ‘About’ tab for a full list of new features in 2.0.

Thanks again go to Glenn Martin for his help in making XML Nanny 2.0 a Universal Binary.

Version 2.0 Beta 4:

Thanks to Glenn Martin for helping make XML Nanny a Universal Binary.

Other fixes include improved stability, improved “Open in external editor” behavior, and a fix for a consistent crasher when XML Nanny encountered an empty attribute value while doing a Xerces-C-based parse. This will probably be the final beta before a full release.

The biggest task left now is documentation… the UI has several new features, and although they’re failry self-explanatory, I don’t have any documentation for the new features… I’d like to work that up before calling this a final release.[break]
