22. Altova XMLSpy is an XML development environment for modeling, editing, debugging and transforming XML technologies.

* XMLSpy provides built-in support for numerous file types, with native support support added in v2020r2 for X3D (Extensible 3D), "a file format used for representing and communicating 3D scenes and objects embedded in applications." Features include context-sensitive parent-child node relationships and attribute values, plus full validation.
* The X3D-Edit distribution enables XMLSpy support for X3D editing and validation, using either X3D DTD or schema.
* X3D-XmlSpyProject.spp (online) is an overview project for X3D specification-development work.
* XMLSpy *ContentCatalog.spp project files are also provided with each of the X3D Example Archives.
=======================================================================

Attached screenshot shows features.  Our developer team and students have been using Altova XMLSpy for years to support X3D validation, conversions testing and quality assurance (QA).  We diligently submit feature requests for years, they are quite responsive.  Highest recommendation, adding native X3D support is a welcome improvement.

The company's home page reports 5,364,812 users worldwide.  30-day free trial and educational license available.
