Favorite XML Tools?

MS XML Notepad[^] Although I still prefer the first version (1.5).

It's the best one I've ever used. Auto-Schema generation and documentation based on sample XML, XSLT Debugger and HTML,XML and Text Output visualizers, validation of schemas and good stack trace of schema exceptions. You should try the evaluation period and buy a copy if you like it ( I do ;P ) DiffDog is also cool, although I won't pay for it, has a pretty good level of details for XML comparisons (based on elements, attributes, values, etc), not only text like some others :suss:

I use XMLSpy from Altova at work - it's good but as already mentioned it is not free For hobbyist things I'd use the XMLBuddy[^] plug-in to eclipse[^]

You've got to be kidding. It had so many bugs it was almost unusable. Buggy UNICODE support, didn't respect xml:space, etc.

One of my favorite XML tools sits three offices down, I use him all the time. He's not paid very well, but at least he knows his schemas.

True, but I preferred the GUI interface for some reason.
