If you are interested in using XPath feature of stylus studio or xml spy but dont want to to pay hefty amount as you maybe using it occasionally, you could give a try to XML plugin for notepad++ both the editor and xml plugin are ope source and free


  1. Download the notepad++ binary installer
  2. Download the cml plugin. The zip file will contain a dll file that you need to place in plugin folder to install

restart notepad++ and in plugins menu there will be a xml tools sub-menu

Liquid Technologies XML Studio has some XPath functionality that may be worth checking out. Their free Community Edition is valid for 30 days after which some components continue to work. Or its only about $200 to buy, a lot cheaper than XML Spy or Stylus Studio.

I believe singh is referring to the XML Tools plugin, it's very useful.

You can find it at the bottom of the plugins list
