Why Choose XMLmind XML Editor?

For a feature by feature comparison with other XML authoring tools, please read the detailed list of features.

• XXE has been designed from the ground up to be used with just the word processor-like view, that is, without the help of a tree view, source view or visible tags. This is very important because it allows the writer to concentrate on her/his story.
• With XXE, you control what you do as precisely as if you were using an ``XML programmer's editor''.

  Please watch this Flash demo if you don't believe these first two paradoxical assertions.

• With XXE, you don't need to be a DocBook or DITA expert. XXE knows these complex XML vocabularies for you, and never suggests actions which would make the document invalid.

  When you don't understand why XXE does not allow you to do such and such actions, simply press Shift-F1 (Help|Show Content Model) and you'll see the content model of the selected element. (More info.)

• With XXE, you don't need to be an XML expert: suffice to know what is an element, an attribute, a text node, etc.

  Example 1: converting your document to PDF is as easy as selecting "Convert to PDF" from a menu. (More info.)

  Example 2: XXE makes possible advanced XPath-based search, without requiring you to know what is XPath. (More info.)

• XXE allows you to convert your XML documents not only to HTML, XHTML, HTML Help, Eclipse Help, Java^TM Help, PDF, PostScript®, but also to RTF, WordprocessingML (MS-Word 2003), OpenOffice (.odt, native format of OpenOffice.org 2), Office Open XML (or OOXML, .docx, native format of MS-Word 2007). (More info.)
• XXE is highly customizable, without programming, by local gurus and consultants. (More info.)
• XXE is highly extensible by Java^TM programmers. (More info.)
• XXE comes with an extensive documentation targeted at end-users, local gurus and Java^TM programmers. (More info.)
• XXE is multi-platform software.
• XXE, whether the stock version or a heavily customized/extended version, is easy to deploy, thanks to the Java^TM Web Start technology and to our deploywebstart command-line utility. (More info.)
• XXE is reasonably priced. (More info.)
• The terms of its license, a ``floating license'', well-adapted to today's usage of software, make the deployment of XXE extremely flexible. (More info.)
