Tech; XMLspy

[undyingking]

Does anyone out there use Altova's XMLspy?

I'm wondering about what seems a weirdity in the new version I've just installed, but it may be I just need to change some new setting or something.

Thanks, see below for description!

If not XMLspy, what software would you recommend for XSLT, schema development, and the like?

Sounds to us like you are probably on the right line for your XMLspy problem, can't be more specific though i'm afraid.

On alternative tools, I use Oxygen and I particularly like the XSLT development stuff. The schema design diagrams aren't as nice as XMLSpy (the only thing I think they really got right) but I personally actually very rarely use them. They've got a 30 day free trial if you wanted to give it a go.

Another alternative is Stylus Studio which I tried but didn't like as much.

It may be irrelevent but Oxygen is also the cheapest - especially with the dollar so low :-)

metame uses a text editor with XML syntax highlighting for XSLT and randomly browsing XML (but not for schema design). So do I if Oxygen isn't available :-)
