XML Notepad 2007

Microsoft has released XML Notepad 2007. The design of the previous version, XML Notepad 2006, is explained in detail on MSDN.

Handy features include:

• Tree View synchronized with Node Text View for quick editing of node names and values.


• Incremental search (Ctrl+I) in both tree and text views, so as you type it navigates to matching nodes.


• Cut/copy/paste with full namespace support.


• Drag/drop support for easy manipulation of the tree, even across different instances of XML Notepad and from the file system.


• Infinite undo/redo for all edit operations.


• In place popup multi-line editing of large text node values.


• Configurable fonts and colors via the options dialog.


• Full find/replace dialog with support for regex and XPath.


• Good performance on large XML documents, loading a 3mb document in about one second.


• Instant XML schema validation while you edit with errors and warnings shown in the task list window.


• Intellisense based on expected elements and attributes and enumerated simple type values.


• Support for custom editors for date, dateTime and time datatypes and other types like color.


• Handy nudge tool bar buttons for quick movement of nodes up and down the tree.


• Inplace HTML viewer for processing xml-stylesheet processing instructions.


• Built-in XML Diff tool.

The source code should be on CodePlex but I have not been able to find it yet...
