XML Notepad provides a simple intuitive User Interface for browsing and editing XML documents.

XML Notepad is the result of a promise Chris Lovett made to a friend at Microsoft. The original XMLNotepad shipped in back in 1998, written by Murray Low in C++. Later on it fell behind in supportfor XML standards and, because we didn't have time to fix it, we pulled the downloader. But Murrayapparently did such a nice job that MSDN was inundated with requests to put the notepad back up, sothey asked for a replacement.

If you are using Mac OS X for your projects, you might want to consider the best XML editors. With so many tools on the internet, both free and paid, it might be challenging to fish out the best. However, the best ones include Ximplify XML Editor. It is a new software, but very powerful for writing XML files. XML Editor for Linux OS – K XML.

XNGR XML Browser v.1.0 The XNGR XML Browser is an XML browser framework, that provides the functionality to associate Markers, Services and Actions with directories, files, XML documents,.

Chris was working on System.Xml in C# in 1999, so he figured he could crank out a replacement usingthe .NET Framework pretty quickly. Well, the problem was it was one of those side projects on his'one-day' list — you know how that goes! Fortunately, another good friend, Michael Corning, tookinterest in it, helped hold his feet to the fire, and also added some cool features himself. DanDoris also took pity on Chris and helped identify some great bugs. So here we are, a nifty tool thatshould be useful to those who want a quick way to view and edit XML documents.

There have been over 3 million downloads since then - so thanks to everyone who tried it out!
