Hi all,
I want to create a simple graphical user interface to allow non-technical users to create an XML file without having to manually edit the XML source. Ideally I'd like a drag and drop interface, but failing that, anything really. The contents of the XML file are similar to an encoded flow chart of a binary tree, so maybe something like Visio, with a save as xml option? Here's a quick sample of the XML output that is required:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<steps>
<step id="1" type="prompt">
<prompt>
Welcome.
</prompt>
<next>1.1</next>
</step>
<step id="1.1" type="question">
<prompt>
Do you have what you need?
</prompt>
<yes>1.2</yes>
<no>1.1.1</no>
</step>
...
</steps>
Are there any existing tools out there that you can recommend for this purpose? Ideally open-source or with a free personal license, but I'm interested in hearing about all options.
Thanks,
David
