Well, i asked a question similar about PHP and HTML, now its XML's turn.
I need a FREE xml editor, the best availble. For some reason my boss thinks its a good idea for me to start learning xml, i dont know why, we only program in ladder logic :p, but im supposed to look into learning xml for the time being. So here we go, fire away with the best editor for xml, and any useful books/websites/whatever you can think of for xml.
Thanks in advance.
 
Any text editor should work fine. Since I work mostly in Vim, my XML editor is vim :)

I've used vim and gvim before, but never took the time to figure out how to change default settings for all file types so I didn't have to change them each time. For example, tab=4 spaces, indenting=4 and no automatic newline at end of file for all file types. Plus never figured out how to save as utf-8.

I like EditPlus.
Crimson Editor is a free alternative to EditPlus, but EditPlus is still better.

Notepad Plus is a good editor too.

metapad is not bad either.

If you search for "What's a good text editor" type threads, you'll find of kinds of editors that you can try to see if you like editing xml with them.
 
You're not really supposed to edit XML by hand...

But since no one ever listens you best use vim to do it.

xml was specifically designed to be both human and machine readable and editable.

I use Open XML Editor at work.

I have a couple of programs that I use at work that uses XML to generate forms or reports for use on a PDA or maintaining metadata, but sometimes it's easier for me to go through and tweak the XML directly rather than use the application builder the software came with.
