Intellisense  The Auto complete feature makes editing XML documents much simpler, but we have taken this a step further in the XML Editor by intelligently calculating the auto complete from an associated set of XML Schemas. So you are presented with the attributes or elements that are allowed, given your position in the file.
| XML Grid Editor  The XML Grid Editor allows you to create and edit your XML data in the form of a tree or table. The standard tree based paradigm is often very limiting when editing repeated sets of data (i.e. a set of addresses). The Table paradigm makes the data more accessible, presenting it more like a spread sheet, making it easy to view and view. The XML Editor has a split screen XML Source / XML Grid which also makes it easy to see where a given node fits into the overall structure of the document.

Validation  The Auto complete feature makes editing XML documents much simpler, but we have taken this a step further in the XML Editor by intelligently calculating the auto complete from an associated set of XML Schemas. So you are presented with the attributes or elements that are allowed, given your position in the file.
Errors are shown inline within the XML document and in the error window.
| Outlining (Code Folding)  The XML Editor allows elements within the XML document to be collapsed, this maximizes your working area simplifying editing of large files.

Built in XPath Query Viewer  Each XML Editor window can show the results of an XPath expression. The results are shown as highlighted regions within the XML Editor. The highlights are changed in real time as the XML or XPath expressions change.
| Infer an XML Schema (XML to XSD)  The XML Editor provides a tool to allow you easily infer an XSD (reverse engineer) from one or more XML documents back into an XML Schema (XSD). The XML Schema can then be used to provide Intellisense and validation to your XML documents.

XML Sample Generator Sample XML documents can be created from an XML Schema. This is an excellent starting point for authoring complex XML documents or just for getting an overview of what an XML Schema will produce. | Document Formatting The XML Editor provides a 'Format XML' option which indents all the elements correctly, making the XML document simple to read. |
Auto Complete The XML Editor provides Auto Complete which automatically closes elements and provides auto formatting as you type. | Syntax highlighting
The XML Editor provides syntax highlighting which makes your XML code easier to develop, allowing errors to be avoided. |
File change notification
The user is notified when the file they are working on is changed by an external editor. | Project Support XML documents can be added to projects, making organizing your development much simpler, and more productive. |
Large File support
The XML Editor supports loading files in excess of 30MB. For larger files you can use the Large File Editor. | Canonical Form Convert XML documents to their Canonical form - allows comparison at the logical level and facilitates the digital signing of documents. |
