XML Viewer Plus

XML Viewer Plus is a handy and efficient application whose main purpose is to load and display XML files, with additional options for editing, formatting and validation.

It is suited for developers, database administrators, as well as for the day-to-day user in need of a quick and effortless way of visualizing XML content.

The program doesn’t require installation, being wrapped inside a portable package that can be run even from a removable drive. Another upside is the appealing interface, which encases the feature set inside a few buttons and menus that are easy to explore and understand.

Files can be added using drag and drop or the dedicated built-in controls, at which point the application loads the content and displays it in the viewing area. The operations you can perform inside this section include edit, cut, copy, paste and delete.

More operations are made available from inside the program’s toolbar. Thus, you can format or validate an XML file, view it inside Internet Explorer, print or save it on demand.

Moreover, you can configure XML viewing options using a special dialog, where you can select the XML version (only 1.0 is available currently), the encoding and the DOM Vendor.

There are two themes that you can switch between in order to change the appearance of the visualization area, namely Classic and Twilight - which enables darker, more elegant colors.

Overall, XML Viewer Plus makes a good impression. It sports a sufficient array of features in order to meet the needs of the average user, although support for more XML standards would come in handy.
