Publisher's Description
From Altova:
Altova XMLSpy 2013 Professional Edition is the industry-leading XML editor and XML development environment, with intuitive editing views and powerful XML utilities to model, edit, transform, and debug XML-related technologies quickly and easily. In addition to the world's most popular XML editor, XMLSpy Professional includes a graphical XML Schema editor that allows you to design and document complex schemas with ease. Schema flattening and subset creation are also supported. Revolutionary new Smart Fix validation not only reports validation errors, but suggests options for fixing them with one click, making troubleshooting a breeze. It also includes a schema-aware XSLT processor and an XSLT 1.0/2.0 debugger for perfecting stylesheets, plus support for stylesheets that use Java, C#, JavaScript, and VBScript. An XPath 1.0/2.0 analyzer and intelligent XPath auto-completion assist in the building and testing of XPath expressions, which can be evaluated against multiple files. A schema-aware XQuery processor and an XQuery debugger facilitate intelligent querying of XML data. Support for XBRL and XBRL Dimensions allows viewing and validating documents that conform to these standards. For Web developers, XMLSpy includes a JSON editor and JSON XML converter. XMLSpy even provides intelligent HTML, HTML 5, and XHTML editing. XMLSpy supports all major SQL databases, including IBM DB2, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, PostgreSQL, and others. You can connect to and query a relational database, generate an XML Schema from a DB, import and export data based on DB schemas, generate DBs from XML Schemas, and edit relational or XML data. XMLSpy includes COM and Java APIs plus OLE and ActiveX controls, which let you access XMLSpy's powerful capabilities in a programmatic way. The optional integration of XMLSpy with Microsoft Visual Studio or Eclipse allows you to seamlessly access XMLSpy editing views and XML development tools from within these popular IDEs.

Pros
I didn't like anything about this product, it's too overloaded and a waste of developer time.

"The Industry Standard"
Version: Altova XMLSpy Professional Edition 2006
Pros
XMLSpy is the de facto XML development environment for professionals, so if you are designing payware products on a team or independently, you're probably already using it. For those wanting to learn more about XML and those developing freeware solutions, you'll probably want to pass.
Cons
The price can only be justified by those making money in this development environment.
-
"Very $$$$$"
Version: Altova XMLSpy Professional Edition 2006
Pros
Helpfull when coding in xml
Cons
Very Expensive for not much features.
Better to just use a free program from sourceforge which has the same features.
This is not very helpful for Students studying Xml.
-
"The best xml tool on the market by far."
Version: Altova XMLSpy Professional Edition 2005
Summary
I already have the new version. Great new XSLT/XPATH 2.0 capabilities. If you are doing anything with XML, you NEED XMLSpy.
