XML Marker
What XML Marker is
XML Marker is a paid Windows editor for XML and JSON with synchronized table, tree, and text views. The maker says it can navigate XML files up to about 500 megabytes and describes offline inspection of appended XML logs for debugging. Editing tools include table sorting, syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, bookmarks, spreadsheet conversion, and a Branch Selector. It supports Unicode/UTF-8 and code page encoding. Generic XML and DTD functionality is included, although the maker says the editor does not directly support every technology built on XML. Listed limitations are no printing, limited DTD functionality, and no validation for text entered through table views. Version 2.2 is available as an EXE installer or ZIP package. A free evaluation lasts 30 days; continued use requires a license key. Purchased licenses are perpetual for the major version bought, and purchase includes one year of maintenance, priority support, and access to versions released during that period. Listed plans include a $50, paid once non-commercial license, a $125, paid once standard user license, and a $3,000, paid once site license.
