I have tried and used a number of free XML/XSD/XSLT editors and just want to share my experience. If you have a different view or a better free tool to suggest, please let us know.
- Recommended comprehensive
- XMLPad: a pretty powerful XML/XSD/XSLT editor; providing multiple views for XML content. But sometimes there is ad.
- XMLFox: a nice tool to view and edit XML schemas (and XML content) with multiple views; requires .Net 2.0.
- Recommended unique
- XPath Visualizer: great tool to test XPath expressions.
- Treebeard: a open source XML/XSLT editor, based on Java. easy for transformation (side by side view); but lack of visual mode and advanced features.
- XML Marker: XML editor, very unique in visualizing XML data using tables, which is very helpful for editing structured relational data.
- Others
- Notepad++: a general editor for many languages including XML.
- EditiX Lite: very nice visual (diagram style) editor; it's good to get XPath
information for any nodes; based on Java. limitation on the free edition (cannot generate schema).
- XML Notepad 2007: a basic XML editing tool downloadable from Microsoft; requires .Net 2.0.

i use gvim for almost all script editing. it's great for almost any language or protocol. it's a free download from download.com.
Jack, thanks for sharing.
Have you been tried XMLSpy? I believe it has a free version for personal use.
Yes,I found that XMLSpy and Oxygen are the other tools which are available free on the internet..
