[Wlug] Wednesday's WLUG - noob question on XML editor

[Lee Keyser-Allen]

I found a phenomenal one called the Altova XML Suite which has a free
'home' version (which I've not played with). The version I used was
the enterprise one, and it did everything I wanted in an editor,
including giving me lots of graphical feedback and it managed schemas
and stylesheets in a clean and well organized blend of graphical
interpretations and text.

The non-free version, however, is very non-free (~$1000 for the 'pro'
suite and ~$1800 for the 'enterprise' suite.)

I've also used, with some good success, Architag XRay XML editor which
had a very good, entirely text based suite that was free. I did have
problems that some of the more quirky and poorly defined parts of the
schema I was writing worked differently in XRay's native interpreter
than in Xerces (or was it Xalan ... it was a little while ago), which
I was using to do some validation.

I've also heard that oXygen is supposed to be good (although, they
didn't have a demo last I looked, so I haven't looked any closer than
that.)

I'm very interested if others have had good experience with any free
(or less non-free) tools.

You can find out more about Altova at www.altova.com.

Hope that is somewhat helpful ...
