XML Notepad is a free Windows desktop application from Microsoft for browsing and editing XML documents with a tree view and text view. It includes schema-aware Intellisense, XPath search, XSLT transforms, XML diff, and conversion of CSV/JSON/HTML files to XML.

Use cases

  • edit xml files with a gui
  • browse large xml documents in a tree view
  • run xslt transforms and preview output
  • compare two xml files for differences
  • convert csv or json to xml
  • find nodes with xpath or regex

When to choose

  • you need a dedicated Windows GUI editor for XML with schema validation and Intellisense
  • you want to inspect, diff, or transform XML documents quickly
  • you work with large XML files and need fast loading and incremental search

When to avoid

  • you need a cross-platform XML editor on Linux or macOS
  • you only need programmatic XML parsing in code rather than a visual editor
  • you need JSON or YAML as your primary format
