Hi. I recently performed an XML development tool analysis for my company. I
reviewed almost 20 products. The winner was Excelon Stylus studio. Its
performance is far better than XML spy. then XML-to-XML mapper is almost as
good as Biztalk's mapper. The XSLT debugger is excellent. One of the
features we liked most about it is the XPath Intellisense, which guides you
through the XML tree when constructing an XPATH query. XML spy came second
and Turbo XML third, but I couldn't stand the JAVA UI. [it flickers all the
time]
For pure XSLT development. you must try ActiveState's Visual XSLT. It
incorporates nicely into Visual Studio .NET. It really makes XSLT look like
any other programming language, which is hasn't thus far for lack of proper
development tools.
