What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor?

The editor is stable and efficient. It handles large XML files with ease. The customizable user interface makes it user-friendly. It has a clear concise view of all the icons and features which are easy to understand and for basic use. It has documentation which is helpful in understanding the application better. As the frequency of use is limited to me using it for editing XML files, it still works better than other editors for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

There are way too many features for just editing XML files. It does work as an editor as well but to use and have complex features to edit may be overwhelming for new users as it was for me. I would expect some training to use this editor. Also, the premium price is also to be put into consideration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oxygen XML Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is mostly solving the understanding and editing of XML documents. Precisely as it is a great editor once you get a hang of it. It has multiple attribute fields and also multiple tab views for multiple files. Editing and reviewing XML documents is easier now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor?

Outstanding debugging tools, and great visual support for XSLT, XQuery, XPATH and XSD. There are many WSYWIG features that I find to be a great time saver. It lets me easily create scripts that automate a publishing build. One of my favorite features is the ability to convert an XML document to a XSD schema. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

The only feature I wish it had was "drag and drop" XSLT coding as found in a couple of competing products. It can also be a bit overwhelming to locate features within the extensive toolset. Additional features I would like to see implemented are 1) validate JSON with JSON schema and 2) generate JSON schema from JSON instance. The other potential negative is that Oxygen is quite pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oxygen XML Editor:

This has the richest set of features and the best debugging tools of any XML editor on the market, although it is pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oxygen XML Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Oxygen primarily to develop XSLT transformation programs to be used in support of ERP integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor?

The fact that it translates xml into easy to use tags in Author's view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

That you can't zoom out Dita Maps Manager and there is no button/possibility to repeat the last action. I use many repetative actions sometimes so it would be nice to use a button that just repeats the last action on a given fragment of text (e.g adjusts attribute "new").

What problems is Oxygen XML Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It translates xml into tags, so I don't have to check my code all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
