[Web4lib] XML Editor recommendations?

[Cary Gordon]

I don't think that there is anything else that matches the  
capabilities and ease of use of Altova's XMLSpy. the only downside is  
that it is pricey.

Oxygen is a lot less expensive and has a lot of great features. It  
can also plug into the Eclipse IDE.

Although you can edit XML in most text editors, and many have XML  
helper functionality, when it comes to getting work done, these  
higher-end tools can save a lot of time and energy.
