XMLMind is quite nice.

I am an Oxygen user, but I've had pretty good luck with JEdit. It has pretty good plugin
support for XML, XPATH, and XQUERY.


Unlike the Windows-only applications previously mentioned, JEdit is a Java app, so
it will run on all major platforms.

I use Notepad++ for pretty much all of my text editing too. I agree with the comments below regarding loading time and usability. But if your students are working with complicated XML dialects (XSLT/XSD/WSDL/etc.) often, I'd really recommend them just to get the academic version of oXygenXML. It's $49, last I checked, and has the full feature set of the Enterprise version.

Hi,

I use Notepad++ quite often and the only big limitation that it has for me is that it doesn't allow you to combine, in the same single search, what it calls extended characters (\n, \t, \r, etc.) and the rest of normal regex.

Cheers, Manuel



Darcy Parker escribis:
My favourite editor is Notepad++.  It loads quickly, has a small
memory foot print, and is easily customizable.

It's not as powerful as Oxygen etc... but for learning XSLT I think it
is a good editor because it forces you to type things out.

It has an XML plug in tool that has many nice features.  (You need to
download the ext-tools.zip and put those files in a folder that is in
your %PATH% environment variable.  Then as with other plugins, you
need to add the XMLTools.dll to the plugin folder.)

(I believe Eclipse has some free plugins with XML editing support and
some support for generating xsd schemas.  But I tend to use notepad++
for all of my editing needs.)

Microsoft's XMLNotepad 2007 is also interesting... but I still prefer notepad++.

Hi list

I use XMLSpy, Oxygen and Stylus Studio all the time but my students
sometimes ask me if I can recommend an all free XML Editor to use at
home or if their company can't be persuaded to invest in one.

I'm looking for a dedicated XML editor like the ones mentioned, good
at making xsd-schemas and XSLT but all free not just for an evaluation
period?

It is easy to google and start downloading, but too often the
downloads are less serious than I can accept, they can only do dtd or
they are only free for a period, etc.

So some hints in the right direction woud be appreciated to save me a
lot of time.

Cheers,
Jesper Tverskov
