Re: [xml-dev] XML tools

[George Cristian Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry to barge in but I do not want to have a perception of oXygen as a 
tool for non-developers, oXygen has a lot of development features for 
all XSLT, XQuery and schemas: support for all XSLT processors, editing, 
debugging and profiling for XSLT 1.0, 2.0 and XQuery - on the XQuery 
side we added support for a lot of XML Databases and this will be 
improved in the upcoming oXygen release - and more, oXygen provides the 
best coverage for schemas, covering not only XML Schema but also Relax 
NG, Schematron, NRL (and in the upcoming release also NVDL), Schematron 
embedded in XML Schema and in Relax NG schemas.

Best Regards,
George
