I have been testing out a few different xml editor/viewers and I can't seem to find any that have a feature that is comparable to XMLSpy's grid view. Another feature I'd like to find, but is a deal breaker would be XMLSpy's ability to "Copy as Structured Text". Haven't found anything similar to this either in the free varieties of xml editors/viewers.
Anybody ever worked with a free xml editor that has the grid view option like XMLSpy?
There appears to be a product called XML Marker that claims to have this as well.

Never tried it.
I use microsoft xml notepad 2007 FREE. https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=7973
XML Marker is a great tool that I've used for years. Well, that is, the old, free version (v1.1). The current version 2.2 is no longer free: $50 individual, $125 commercial. I find that price insane. Same with Liquid XML looks even nicer, but with an even insanerer[sic] price of $100/$300. I'm surprised there aren't better free or even reasonably priced (<$20 IMHO) editors out there. I'm tempted to write one, charge $5, and make a killing by sheer volume. ;-)
[Addendum:] I just downloaded Xsemmel, recommended by another commenter. It's free & open source, and so far it looks pretty good! I'm going to give this a run for a while.
Liquid's grid view is limited. you can't select multiple cells for copying an pasting. I would go with Oxygen or XMLSpy. Stylus studio is also a decent option.
Liquid XML Studio has an XML grid editor. Each section can be viewed as a tree or a table. The Table view allows data to be cut and pasted from tabular data sources ie Excel, SQL Server management studio etc.
