Easy XML Editor v1.7.8

Why You Should Use Easy XML Editor

1. It is not a text editor

Whereas common XML editors are typically a modification of text editors, Easy XML Editor is different. It treats XML files as what they are: A hierarchic composition of nodes that have children and attributes.

When working with XML files, you want to structure the contents using these instruments. Following the syntax with opening and closing element tags has been seen as mandatory. The Easy XML Editor will free you from that, this reduces needs for typing and you can concentrate on the contents.

It is a editor specialized to work with XML files, with features a text editor cannot provide.

2. The Easy XML Editor prevents syntax errors

When working with its tree view, the editor will assure that the syntax is always correct.

This eliminates the need to e.g. ensure that an element is closed properly.

3. It structures your data

When working with plain XML code you always have to keep track of the correct XML structure. In complex files this can be an exhausting task, the Easy XML Editor frees you from this work. The XML data is presented in an clearly and easy to handle way, for example restructuring can be done using drag-and-drop and data can be shown in tables.

Features

The Easy XML Editor is a comfortable editor for XML files. With it you can view and edit XML data in a new, simplified way.

1. Tree View

The Easy XML Editor shows XML files as a tree of nodes, each element/comment/cdata/processing instruction is a node. This makes it easy to keep an overview over complex data structures.

Data can be edited directly in the tree:

2. Edit Easily

5. Track Changes/History

If you want this, every change in the XML tree is marked and kept in the so called history. This makes it easy to keep track of the changes you applied, with being able to revert some or all of them.

6. Search/Replace

Easy XML Editor allows to execute full text searches on the XML tree, the results are shown in an easy to handle list.
Clicking on a list entry will jump to the change applied.

The copy function allows to copy a selection of nodes to the clipboard. From there it can be pasted everywhere you need it.

Copying the tree above will result in:
