Simplify Structured Content Creation
Use XML authoring tools to build documents with guided editing, clear structure and validation feedback.

XML authoring tools help users create content within the elements and attributes defined by a document’s vocabulary. Visual editing modes present content in a readable layout, while source editors provide direct control over markup. Schema-aware assistance can suggest valid structures and identify errors as documents are developed. These capabilities support technical documentation, configuration files and other structured content that needs to remain consistent for processing, exchange or publication.
Several structured document tools support XML authoring, including:
- Oxygen XML Editor by Syncro Soft combines source editing with a customizable visual Author mode, using CSS to present XML content in a document-like layout.
- Altova XMLSpy offers text and graphical editing views, with schema-aware editing assistance to help users construct XML documents.
- Liquid Studio by Liquid Technologies provides XML source authoring with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, schema-aware IntelliSense and validation feedback.
