🛠 HL7 Validation Software

What HL7  validation software do other states use for reviewing, editing, & validating HL7 V2x messages? We have been using 7Edit, but may need to change this. If you don't use 7Edit, what are the pros and cons of what you are using?

Thanks!

QuickViewHL7 is a decent free option. It's largest pro is the price!! But being free it doesn't have the features that some other tools have. HL7 Soup is great but pricy at $400. 7Edit is right in the middle of those two in terms of features and price. Unfortunately, none of those options are available on Mac. So more recently I have been looking at other solutions. Visual Studio Code has an extension for viewing HL7. It's free and the editing is easier than HL7 QuickView but has essentially no features for validation.
