What's a good XML editor?

Good quality XML editor for OS X?

  • Is there a good-quality open source/freeware XML editor for OS X that will understand DTD files (and validate too)? And is geared more toward writing documentation than code?

  • Answer:

    By "geared more toward writing documentation" does this mean that you'd ideally like a word processor? Something that will understand arbitrary DTDs/Schemas and is like word processor will require a mapping in order to understand what's a block element, what's inline, what's an image, etc. http://conglomerate.darwinports.com/ can do this, but it's always been a bit crashy for me (on Linux). If it's just DocBook that you want them there are http://www.abisource.com/ plugins for that. Alternatively you could look into converters... eg, write your document in ODF and convert that to your format of choice.

Apart from the "free" part, http://www.oxygenxml.com/ sounds like what you want. There is a 30 day free trial - maybe you can do what you want within that time?

If anybody is interested I found my own solution. I had a license for TextMate from the MacHeist bundle and I added-in the free http://www.ditchnet.org/xmlmate/ plugin, which can check the code. Oxygen XML would be ideal but is a pro-level tool with a relatively high price tag.
