HiT Software Inc. and Altova announced a new product integration between Altova’s XMLSPY 5 and HiT Software’s winAllora Xpress, a bi-directional data mapping utility that facilitates conversion of XML and relational data. When used together, the two products allow software application developers to utilize the relational database-to-XML mapping utilities of HiT Software’s winAllora Xpress, directly from within the XMLSPY 5 development environment. Developers can use the XMLSPY 5 XML Schema editor to model data elements, then use graphical tools in winAllora Xpress to define XML Schema to relational database mappings, or, inspect existing database tables and relationships and auto-generate an XML Schema with winAllora Xpress, and refine the XML Schema in XMLSPY 5. Free trial versions of XMLSPY Enterprise Edition 5 and winAllora Xpress 3.1 can be downloaded. www.hitsw.com, www.altova.com
