The complete story
by Liora AlschulerFollowing is a comprehensive set of links to our recent capsule reviews of XML editors. Lest any of the online readers new to this market overlook the obvious, we have added links to our earlier reviews of the full field of editors, including the market-leading structured editors from Adobe and ArborText and the work-a-day, low-end SGML editor from SoftQuad. In any serious product evaluation, these products are where you should start.
NOTE: Whenever possible, links to vendors' sites go directly to information on the listed tool.
