Free XML Editor

Hello All.
I'm looking for a freeware/shareware xml editor that I can recommend to client.
Needs to be able to view/edit xml schemas.
30 day eval of XMLSpy or similar is not an option.
Any experience and input is appreciated.
tx.

I don't understand this comment at all.
This editor does not do a good job of displaying values of elements within the schema.

Then I'd say your client had better learn fast. JMO.
Client is a bunch of mainframe programmers. They freak out looking at anything new. They need to deal with XML Schemas to understand the data that will be passed to their IMS Transactions. I'm looking for a nice tool that can visually represent this data in an intuitiave as possible format. Apparrantly they like XMLSpy, but the company wont pay for it.
Personally I just use UltraEdit. I'm just trying to see if I can reduce their 'wiggout' factor by finding a similar tool to XMLSpy that is free.
Thanks for your help.

  • Simple XML Editor

    Is there a simple, FREE, XML editor out there (written in Java)?
    I am using an XML file format for a small application I wrote, and I would prefer to edit the file using an XML editor, since it is easy to screw up the file in a text editor.
    If you've used Forte or Netbeans, all I want is a simple XML editor like the one that is built into the IDE.
    Thanks for any information.

    Vim works pretty good, its free, and has syntax highlighting. You would need to be familiar with using vi. http://www.vim.org/
    If you use Eclipse, you can get http://www.oxygenxml.com/. It's not free, but its cheaper than XMLSpy.
    I haven't found anything better than XMLSpy, even though its expensive.
    Does anyone know of another tool that can generate a sample instance document from a schema, and/or a schema from an instance document? I find that handy in XMLSpy.

    Hi Experts,
    could you suggest me a really good and free xml editor which is good for editing big .xml files like control.xml and where the line nr. for each line of the xml is also displayed.

  • XPontus XML Editor 1.0.0.1 is out

    Hi everybody,
    The version 1.0.0.1 of XPontus XML Editor(http://xpontus.sf.net) is out. XPontus XML Editor is a simple XML Editor oriented towards text editing. It aims to become the free alternative to commercial XML IDEs such as XML SPy or Oxygen XML Editor. The software has been entirely rewritten to support plugins, so most of XPontus features are provided as plugins which can be extended.
    Here is the complete list of the major features :
    * Modularity : XPontus is now built on top of a plugin framework to allow a modular development. Most of XPontus features are provided as plugins.
    * Code completion : For general XML files code completion is built on the fly when a DTD or schema is associated to the document. XSL completion is provided using a DTD embedded in the XML code completion plugin. For HTML files, an embedded DTD is used to create the code completion database.
    * XPath 1.0 support
    * Syntax coloring is enabled for XML and HTML related files.
    * XSL transformations (PDF, HTML, XML, SVG, TEXT).
    * Check if XML is well formed
    * Validation : Simple XML validation, Batch XML validation, External schema validation
    * Code structure browser to display the hierarchic structure of XML and HTML files
    * Code indentation is available for XML and HTML related files.
    * File system abstractions : XPontus will be able to use file system abstraction which means that a FTP file and a local file will be look all the same to the application.
    * Schema generation/conversion(Generation of DTDS, XML schemas, Relax NG grammars from XML files).
    * HTML Documentation generation from XML schemas or DTD
    * Installers are available for Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix(FreeBSD, Solaris)
    * Platform independence : As XPontus is written Java, it runs on most platforms such as Windows, Mac OS, Linux/Unix, FreeBSD, MacOS, Solaris.
    * Drag and drop support, common editing features(print, etc.), control+pageup and control+pagedown to switch between windows.

    No, it is not built on top of Netbeans. The plugin framework is JPF(http://jpf.sourceforge.net) and the docking framework is vldocking(http://www.vlsolutions.com/en/products/docking/).
    XPontus XML Editor is a standalone Java Swing application for now. The integration with Netbeans and Eclipse is planned for future releases. That will depends on the team's knowledge of Netbeans Platform and SWT.
    Thank you for your interest in XPontus XML Editor

  • Simple WYSIWiG XML editor

    Hello,
    I try to write a simple XML editor using Swing. I have no problem processing the XML document itself (parsing XML, DTD and CSS) but now I need to display the parsed document and allow the user to edit it.
    My idea is to use "decorators" configured at runtime (by the parsed CSS) wrapped around the DOM elements, but how should I display it and make it editable? I don't want to care about formatting if it's not really necessary - I'd like Swing to do as much of it as possible.
    Thanks in advance for all your hints

  • Low cost XML editor

    Did any of you guys work with a decent low cost XML editor?
    We have a scenario where we receive the data in big XML files and we do somewhat complex mapping, it would be really nice to have an editor to create test files, mostly deleting (lots of) nodes from the production files in order to debug the issues.
    Is there any good (free?) tool to do this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Viktor Varga

    Hi Viktor,

  • Free html editor wanted

    ..looking for a free html editor to do post-publishing-edits
    seems my simple text editor does not let me open html files and with firefox i believe i can't edit just view source code.
    harpo

    i have done as suggested but textedit would only open kind of a header of the hmtl.index file.
    i see:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= template/Blank.html" /></head><body></body></html>
    but viewing source code in firefox will show so much more..
    what's wrong?

    Hi!
    I have explored the XSL file and found the template used for displaying the article content, which you can see under.
    Is it possible to look into the "urTxtSTd" to check the style sheet settings?  Or is it a way to use another stylesheet for displaying links inside this "Body" element?
    <xsl:if test="((Body!=''))">
              <span class="urTxtStd">
                <a>
                  <xsl:if test="$accessibilitymode='true'">

  • Is there a Simple free Text Editor for Belle?

    Symbian has been around for a very long time but I'm still struggling to find a
    simple free text editor where I can create a *.txt file and write down information in it or perhaps I don't know about it, so I was wondering is anyone familiar in any free text editor compatible with Belle?
    Thanking you in advance.

    I use Notes. You know, standard notes. And easiest way to get this "file" out from the phone is to send it by e-mail.

  • Open XML file in XML editor with certain XPath highlighted

    Hi,
    I have wrtten an XML compraison tool which produces an HTML report of all differences and shows the xpaths where there is a mismatch. I want the user to be able to click the xpath (like hyperlink) and open the XML file using IE or any opensource XML editor (xerlin?) such that the xpath node is the current highlighted node on the screen. That way the user can right away seee where the mismatch is. As a next step I wanted to open both the control and the test files side by side with both xpaths highlighted.
    Any idea how I can approach the problem? Is there any open osurce software I can leverage and integrate my application,
    Thanks,
    Abhijit

    This code of yours should work.
    <% if display_url is not initial. %>
    <script language="Javascript">
    url = "<%=display_url%>";
    window.open(url, "Zusatz", "width=400, height=400");
    </script>
    <% endif. %>
    what happens, it doesnt open new window at all or new window is opened but xml doesnt show up?

  • Online XML editor?

    Hi
    I am looking for an JSF component or framework which allows editing XML documents online in the browser.
    I found the tags richTextEditor and richTextEditorInsertBehavior, but thats out of the box only for text editing.
    http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/components/
    My wish list:
    - platform Win XP + IE6
    - XSD validation, marking erros, etc.
    - Intellisense feature e.g. suggestions in XML document for possible XSD values ...
    Until now I found:
    - http://www.bitfluxeditor.org/
    - http://www.ektron.com/ewebeditproxml.aspx
    - http://xopus.com/xopus-web-based-wysiwyg-xml-editor.html
    Someone used richTextEditor as online XML editor? Other advices ...?
    If I remember correctly than exists editing possiblities in the Oracle Enterprise Manager for XML documents of the application server? What framework is under the hood?
