Re: [xml-dev] Any tool to generate xml documents?

[ycao5@scs.carleton.ca]

HI,

   Thanks for all of you. I know there was a tool called IBM XML Generator. But 
it is not available on-line now. Is there any similar tool can be used to 
generate random xml document or a set of documents accroding to a DTD or schema?

good day,

Yang
