XML editor


You can better write XML documents with a professional XML editor.


XML is text-based

XML refers to an extensable markup language

You can use a simple XML editor such as Notewise to create or edit an XML file.

However, when you start using XML, you will soon find that it can be better to edit XML files using a professional XML editor.


Why not use note books?

Many developers use Notewise to edit XML and HTML documents because the most commonly used operating systems come with Note books and are easy to use. Personally, I often use Note to quickly edit some simple HTML, CSS, and XML files.

However, if you use Notea note books to edit XML, you may soon find a number of problems.

You can't determine the type of document you're editing, so you can't assist with your work.


Why use the XML Editor?

Today, XML is a very important technology, and development projects are using these XML-based technologies:

  • Define the structure and data types of XML with XML Schema
  • Use XSLT to transform XML data
  • Swap SOAP for XML data between applications
  • Use WSDL to describe network services
  • Use RDF to describe network resources
  • Use XPath and XQuery to access XML data
  • Use SMIL to define graphics

In order to be able to write error-free XML documents, you need an intelligent XML editor!


XML editor

A professional XML editor will help you write error-free XML documents, validate XML against some kind of DTD or schema, and force you to create a legitimate XML structure.

The XML editor should have the following capabilities:

  • The end label is automatically added to the start label
  • Force you to write legitimate XML
  • Validate the XML based on the DTD
  • Validate XML based on Schema
  • Colorize your XML syntax
