XML Notepad

XML Notepad is a simple application that assists in the building of rapid prototypes of XML applications. It allows developers to rapidly build & edit small sets of XML data as a test bed during the development of XML-based applications. With XML Notepad, it's easy to create XML documents using familiar design metaphors. XML Notepad offers an intuitive and simple user interface that graphically represents the tree structure of XML data. Working with the standard building blocks of XML (Elements, Attributes and XML Data), authors are able to create reproducible data structures that can be easily populated.
