is xmlspy way ahead of everyone else

hi there,

is xmlspy way ahead of everyone else?

i work on a linux workstation and use vmware/windows 2000 to work with
windows based clients.

i have been able to carry out a couple of basic xml projects using emacs
but we now have a project involving imported schemas.

when checking out tools it looks to me like xmlspy are way ahead of the
other tools.

is this impression correct?

are there any other tools which can be recommended.

i know i can use xerces to validate schemas but emacs psgml mode is
definitely struggling,

IMHO XML Spy is an excellent schema/XSLT development tool.
It is not necessarily the best at validating schema's or document instances
however (due ot bugs mostly).
I develop schemas and initially test schemas (in text view mode) in XML spy
but I always check in MSXML4 and Xerces.

Well, i found that Stylus Studio also no bad stuff to use for XML. XMLSPY
and other tool have few small problems which sometimes really pissing me
off. Especially it's related to tree management, when you have damn huge
tree with hundreds of nodes and subnodes and attributes there full of data,
it so hard to manipulate with nodes (like dragging) thought XMLSPY IDE....

I received a file from a business partner. I ran it through XercesJ and it choked on the following element: <wcb-case-number>0</wcb-case-number> To debug this issue, I loaded it into XMLSPY and hit validate...it passed. Here are the related type/element definitions: // Redefine built-in string type to limit range of characters, mostly // to eliminate undesirable white space (tab, cr, lf, etc.)

Hi all, I don't know whether this is the right group, let me know :-). I tried to open this XML file (with internal DTD) with XMLSpy 2005. I guess some of you also use this tool. http://dret.net/lectures/xml/a/4/wwww.xml I'm quite new to XML at all, so I wondered about the following. Maybe someone can tell me whether this is correct or it's an XMLSpy bug:

Hi there! A "special" project team in our department has decided to purchase XMLSpy. We standardize on VS2005 as our IDE and up to now everyone has used the XML parser in VS2005. Are there advantages to using XMLSpy over VS2005? Apparently there are "integration diagrams" that VS2005 does not have natively. Does someone have a link or a MVP have some comparison I could have? Warmly Adrian
