LXS Publisher is a generic Web application enabling the publishing of XML content and based on XSL/XSLT technology. Its advanced conception confers with flexibility, portability and efficient processing and XML transformations with XSL/XSLT/FO stylesheets. LXS Publisher provides a graphical administration console which facilitates URL definition tasks associated with both XML documents and XSL stylesheets.

XML ActiveX component for parsing and creating XML. Advanced API for XML compression, XML encryption, and handling XML binary content. Fully internationalized to handle any language / character encoding.

Oxygen is an XML Editor, XSLT/XQuery Debugger and Profiler with full Unicode support. It supports visual XML editing driven by CSS stylesheets. Introduces XML Author specially tuned for content authors providing a well designed interface for XML editing by keeping only the relevant authoring features. It offers a powerful code insight that can follow a DTD, Relax NG or an XML Schema or even can learn the structure from a partial edited document. XML and XSL documents can be easily associated one with the other and the transformation results can be viewed as text or HTML. Oxygen provides a visual schema editor for W3C XML Schema and Relax NG schema designed to simplify the development and understanding of the schema files. Oxygen validates XML, XSL, XQUERY, FO, XSD, RNG, RNC, NRL, DTD, Schematron, WSDL and CSS content, reporting errors with description and line number information and marking them in the document when validate as you type is enabled.

XML Viewer for Java is a Java application that enables viewing XML data from various perspectives such as the source of the XML, the DTD for the XML, the hierarchical structure of the XML data. It displays any well-formed XML document.

The editor takes as input a given DTD, and automatically builds a palette containing the elements defined in the DTD. Users can thus create/edit/expand any document derived from that DTD, by using a visual tree-directed paradigm. The visual paradigm requires a minimum learning curve as only valid constructs/elements are presented to the user in a context-sensitive palette.

Xselerator is a fully functional XSL/XSLT IDE and Debugger. Features: Full stepping capability; Breakpoints on both XSLT and input XML; Conditional breakpoints; View template call stack; Watch values (including full XPath expression watches); Clear and easy to use IDE; XSL/XSLT element and attribute intuitive (like Intellisense or code insight) drop-downs; Automatic tag completion - in XSL/XSLT tag completion follows model and, optionally, fills element with mandatory attributes; HTML element and attribute intuitive drop-downs; Full XSL, XSLT, XML and HTML color syntax highlighting (fully customizable); and All the usual editor capabilities (cut, copy, paste, find, replace) plus special 'Copy as RTF' and 'Copy as HTML' features allowing syntax highlighting to be preserved when copying and pasting to word-processors, html editors and newsgroups etc.

XSLbyDemo is a technology for generating XSLT rules on the basis of editing operations conducted under on the WYSIWYG view of an HTML editor. XSLbyDemo is available for full-fledged HTML editors, namely, IBM WebSphere Studio Page Designer (v3.5 or greater), and IBM WebSphere Homepage Builder (v.6.0.3 or greater).

The IBM XML Registry/Repository (XRR) is a data management system that manages and provides services for XML artifacts including schemes (DTD, XSD), stylesheets (XSL) and instance documents (WSDL). User can use XRR to obtain an XML artifact automatically, search or browse for an XML artifact, deposit an XML artifact with or without related data, and register an XML artifact without deposit.

XML Schema Quality Checker is a program which takes as input an XML Schema written in the W3C XML schema language and diagnoses improper uses of the schema language. Where the appropriate action to correct the schema is not obvious, the diagnostic message may include a suggestion about how to make the fix. For Schemas which are composed of numerous schema documents connected via <include> <import> or <redefine> element information items, a full schema-wide checking is performed. The tool can also be run in batch mode to quality check multiple XML schemas in a single run.

This tool is now a mature 2 years old. It was the first opensource Visual XSL development environment.

Complete with breakpoints and step-into/over this is a visual tool for XSL developers. Currently in beta, this tool is easy to use and small.
