XSLT IDE (Interactive Development Environment):

  • XSelerator (the one I used for 6-7 years). Free, has a debugger for MSXML, has intellisense for XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0. In addition, there are some dynamic intellisense. The debugger has breakpoints, data breakpoints, visualizes temporary trees, variables, test conditions, current output, ... etc.
  • VS2010 is a good XML + XSLT Debugger editor. Good static intelligence. Match patterns are statically validated. Breakpoints, data breakpoints, variable visualization, and current output.
  • oXygen
  • XML-SPY (Altova)
  • Stylus studio

XPath Tools:

  • XPath Visualizer is a popular tool for learning XPath by playing with XPath expressions. Free and open source. Allows you to evaluate any XPath expression for a given XML document and displays the results highlighted in the xml document (if they are node (s)) or in a separate field (if the results are atomic values). Allows you to define xsl: variable-s, and then used in XPath expressions. Allows you to define xsl: key-s, and then reference the key () functions in XPath expressions.

EDIT . Visualizer XPath now has a new, more secure home , due to the kindness of Lars Hattar.

There are loads. Since its just text, the notebook will be fine. notepad ++ has a nicer look and is open source. Visual studio also has excellent xml formatting and can be downloaded freely (basic versions only)

We use and love Altova XML Editor is not expensive, nice interface and powerful.
