UBL Swinger is a generic UBL instance editor that can create a UBL document instance within minutes. UBL Swinger is also a good reader thanks to its dynamic loading, designed for use with large documents. A special hierarchical view allows the user focus on a precise branch of even a complex UBL document.

The editor can support any collection of UBL Schemas (WXS based) by adding a new XML Catalog to its Workspace.
