XMLSpy

Pros: XMLSpy has everything you need in one product. It's very well designed. The GUI is well laid out, and the interface is intuitive. Being able to visualize your XML, JSON, XSDs etc. is a massive time saver!

Cons: There was nothing about this product to complain about. From price to implementation, it checked all of the boxes.

Pros: I like the new XBRL Taxonomy Manager in XML Spy 2021 which helps to manage XBRL taxanomies across the different Altova applications. XML Spy will always be my first choice of XML editors. We use it a lot in conjunction with Altova's MapForce product

Cons: Software has several updates over the course of the year as have all Altova products. That can be a plus but it also means testing the updated versions before releasing them into the Production environment.

Pros: This software allows a user to easily create and view XML and WSDL files in multiple ways. The text is presented in an easy to read format that is miles about standard text editors.

Cons: I haven't personally encountered any issues with this software. It has filled all of my needs and came highly recommended.

Pros: 1) Best way to format XML data and see flows for a XML schema. 2) We can create sample XML payload if we have complete schema using this. 3) Very easy to understand for the beginners in XML.

Cons: 1) Not a free software. Always, need a paid version. 2) Sometimes all options are not easily identifiable. Need some research to do.

Pros: I like that it allows you to validate the files you are working with against a schema fairly conveniently

Cons: There is no free version of the software so you would have to get your company to purchase it for you

Pros: Allows you to view your your xml data in a whole new way from text view, grid view, Schema view that aid xml editing and debugging

Cons: You have to shell out a lot of money to get a professional or enterprise license

Pros: XMLSpy is a full featured markup language editor. I am able to work within multiple markup languages, including XSLT and easily debug my code using this product.

Cons: In my opinion the cost is a little high for this product. But if you work in coding (by hand) these languages on a daily basis then it is worth it.

Pros: I have used XMLSpy for over 10 years and across multiple jobs/employers. I have found it nearly indispensable when designing complex schemas. The interface is intuitive and it makes easy actions easy and difficult actions possible.

Cons: The only downside to XMLSpy is the cost. I've had several employers balk at the cost but it more than pays for itself in productivity gains in my opinion.

Pros: 1.Continue updates 2. Complete solution 3.Useful for generating the dabase model 4.Fast

Cons: The interface could be improved; functions sometimes remain difficult to find

Pros: I like the ability to open, edit, parse and view my XML files. I used it to edit a library file for another software I frequently use and was able to make bulk changes.

Cons: I thought its interface could have been a little bit easier to understand and use. Otherwise I don't have any complaints.

Pros: Parsing XML using XML spy is very easy. Provide flexibility in adding tags in the middle of the XML file very easy

Cons: The cost of the software is a bit more compared to competitors. Also not allowing online formatting of XML even after purchase.

Pros: - Features, features, features. Everything and anything that you might like to do with XML files and some things you may not realize you could do - Straightforward interface - Customer support was excellent although typical menu system to talk to a real person

Cons: - Examples are not great. Too complex in some ways and not enough explanations of how to use features. Need a better set of examples and perhaps one that continues through all the features. - Renewals are end of September which is problematic as that is in the middle of peak use time for us

Pros: It has numerous features.

Cons: Because of many features can be difficult to start using.

Pros: The tool has inbuilt validation and auto complete, which is great with any tool a developer uses. Add in syntax colouring and indenting makes any XML file easy to read.
