I like 6.5 with the new tree visualization and commercial support. It's stabile and fast. Here is some feedback/feature requests for future development of BaseX:
1) Double click on the blue bar to get a full view (All other views are send to the background. When double clicking the other views appear again)
2) Put a close button on the blue bar
3) Folder view; add entry in the right-click menu to collapse in or out all nodes
4) Add support for intelligent xpath autocompletion in the search bar
5) Possibility in the right click menu to duplicate a node6) Possibility to place a node in comment /uncomment
7) In text mode highlight a node when the cursor is standing on an opening or ending tag, so that the corresponding pair will be remark
8) Make "Enter" equal to double clicking when navigation in a xml
9) Option to show line numbers in text mode
10) Launch a xml in a browser, xml editor or IDE from the menu
In the long run it would be nice to add
1) A XML Grid View (like xmlSpy or Stylus Studio)
2) XSD support for validating and generating schemas
3) XSLT support for transforming a xml db into another xml db and alternative query posibillities
4) Visualizing differences between two databases
5) Export xml to text, csv, xls, json etc
6) XQuery Documentation Generator (XQDoc Support)
7) Use colors to show structure of an xml in the visualization views (this option can be turned on and off)
8) Support for forms (Create forms as a front end for basex and distribute this together with the xml db as a jar file)
9) XML editing mode and read only mode (xacml)
10) Focus on support for adding thousands of xml files into one db
Thanks, I will look forward to future releases
Ray
