What is XML? I will leave this question for
Wikipedia to answer. I recently need to use XML for writing some program with
Google Maps API. At first, I wrote with some
free text editors. But when the file size grows, I started to feel more like using a dedicated
XML editor. Again, not wanting to spill my money too easily, I started looking around for freebies. The following are what I found. There are not many portable ones though.
- XML Notepad 2007 (download) is a handy tool for editing XML files, by Microsoft!.
- XML Marker (download) can "easily browse and edit XML files"
- firstobject XML Editor (download 2.2.5) handles unicode file "flawlessly". Its portable, light and does not have many fancy functions. But it serve nicely as an XML viewer/parser.
- Exchanger XML Editor Lite (download for Windows with Java VM1.4.2) can only be used for non-commercial environment. It supports Linux, Mac OS X and almost any other Java Enabled platforms. It is obvious a very serious editor according to its website.
It features XML Schema, RelaxNG and DTD based editing, tag prompting and validation, XPath and regular expression searches, schema conversion, XSLT, XQUERY and XSLFO transformations, comprehensive project management, an SVG viewer and conversion, easy SOAP invocations, and more...
Open Directory Project has many more editors documented.
