Free or Open Source XML Editors
While XML documents can be created by plain text editors, there are also numerous free and open source XML editors available.
One XML editor is Xerlin, which is based on Java and so is platform independent. Xerlin is available from http://www.xerlin.org/. However, to create and expand XML documents, Xerlin requires a DTD but does not allow you to create a DTD. Without a DTD, Xerlin only allows the editing of existing elements and attributes of an XML document, but does not allow you to add additional elements or attributes.
Another XML editor is Cooktop. Cooktop is a freeware Windows-only XML editor available from http://xmlcooktop.com. Cooktop allows for the creation of XML, DTD and XSLT documents, as well as using XPATH. Cooktop differentiates by color the code for XML and DTD documents. In addition, Cooktop provides numerous tools to help in the creation and modification of those documents, such as a DTD extractor to generate a DTD based on a sample XML document, an HTML to XSL converter, and more.
