Re: [Wlug] Wednesday's WLUG - noob question on XML editor
This stuff is new to me, so wanted to dabble a bit before the meeting. My question is: what's your favorite editor for XML? My past experience with HTML has been with Mozilla editors in Windows, and I find them to be adequate (and free). Thanks, Doug Maly
Hi All:
Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm working hard to make my preso at this Wednesday's WLUG meeting (October 11) interesting, informative, innovative. Something different, without being annoying.
Bring any of your friends that might be interested in data visualization, web design, XML, SVG, etc.
During the preso, interrupt me with questions as much as you want, and make a mental note where my presentation isn't clear or drags. I'm hoping to get as much feedback as possible so that the next time I present this topic it will be better.
Thanks, Doug
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 ...

Hi Doug,
My efforts with XML have involved XML generation (using perl programs) and
XML transformations (using xsltproc). I haven't had much experience with
a manually operated XML editor. I did like the free pspad program a lot
though: www.pspad.com. Also, on Suse Linux there's the KXML editor.
