PrimalXML 2009 will automatically syntax color your XML files for you. This makes it easier to identify and differentiate elements, attributes and values at first glance. It also allows for easier editing of your XML content.

With PrimalXML, you have the option of letting PrimalXML automatically format your XML file on opening or you can open a file in its original format and then optionally request PrimalXML to format the document for you..

PrimalXML 2009 uses the simplified Windows 7/Office '08 Ribbon interface. All of the commands are easy to locate and at your fingertips. Dockable panes in the UI allow for easy customization of the window elements.

Use PrimalXMl to apply styleSheets to XML data and view your results in HTML.

Its easy to use PrimalXML to validate your XML data files against an XML Schema file. This helps keep your XML document in conformance. At the click of a button you can assign an XSD file to use for validity checking and PrimalXML will output clear information about the document's validity and any error messages.

PrimalXML allows you to navigate your XML files in several different ways. Navigate elements via tree view or quick keys. Perform a Find on text or XML element objects. Even use Goto Line Number if you know about where the item you are looking for is.

Use PrimalXML's Element Viewer to quickly edit element attributes isolated from the rest of your XML. Or you can edit XML objects directly in the document view. PrimalXML's editor is not just a simple text editor; it understands XML and lets you edit your XML content as objects. For more secure editing, use the Edit Attribute Values Only Mode which prevents the user from inadvertently altering the XML structure.

Because PrimalXML's editor understands objects, you can quickly move child elements up and down within its parent element. It is also just as easy to copy and clone elements, add and remove elements, add and remove parent and child elements, and manipulate element attributes. We even have a Batch Insert mode that allows for quick creation and copying of elements.

PrimalXML enhances your editing abilities with PrimalSense for XML elements, attributes, attribute values, and special characters codes (i.e. &). As you type, PrimalSense understands what you are typing and makes appropriate suggestions to quickly complete the current statement. With PrimalXML you have the power to customize the PrimalSense for use with your custom XML files and extensions. Define custom elements, attributes, and attribute values to fit your personal needs.

PrimalXML's included File Browser makes for quick file access. Quickly find the file you want and double click to open it right from the editing screen. If you are the Drag and Drop type, drag it from the file browser and drop it on to the editing pane. Even drag and drop from Windows Explorer.

PrimalXML's Find and Replace functionality works across elements and attributes. Once you find what you are looking for use PrimalXML's line bookmarking to tag the line in question.

With a few clicks of the mouse, PrimalXML will convert your current XML file into a template file, that is, it will strip out your values and text and leave you with the XML structure only. A great way to pass along a working XML structure without having to recreate it from scratch.

PrimalXML features a built in file comparison tool that allows you to compare your XML files. Differences between the file contents are highlighted, making them easily identifiable. Navigation buttons and keyboard shortcuts simplify moving from one difference to another, either forwards or backwards.
