I'm trying to view an XML file in Eclipse, but I'm not enjoying their tree structure view for the XML data. I was hoping there'd be a simple highlighted text view for it but I couldn't find it.
Closest I got was the plain text view which was nearly it.
Is there such a view? If so, where is it?
#1) Open Windows Explorer and browse to the location where the XML file is located. We have browsed to the location of our XML file MySampleXML as seen below. #2) Now right-click over the file and select Open With to choose Notepad or Microsoft Office Word from the list of options available to open the XML file.
In Chrome, just open a new tab and drag the XML file over. Alternatively, right click on the XML file and hover over "Open with" then click "Chrome". When you do, the file will open in a new tab. Note: Instructions for your operating system may differ slightly.
You can view XML files in different ways including using a text editor, like Notepad or TextEdit, a web browser like Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, or an XML viewer. Open your text editor or XML viewer, then open your XML to view it. Drag and drop the XML file to your web browser to view it.
Look at the bottom of the editor. There should be a source tab that will give you the view you are looking for.
