Oxygen XML Editor Reviews & Product Details

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

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").

Best part about the editor is the ability to leverage xslt transformation, something unavailable on a lot of other existing editors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clunky UI which can definitely be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has so many usefull functions, can be customized to your liking (both visually and functionally). I love that the tool enables me to do so much more than other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apart from the search/replace function not working properly sometimes, there is nothing that comes to my mind really. Personally, I think the tool is really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's ability to convert a document into multiple outputs with just a click.

The tool is DITA based to gives the ease of working along with xml.

Gives easy collaboration features.

The editor has three views: text, grid, and author. The text view seems to be the most helpful for showing where you are within the file as it highlights your position in blue and shows the overall structure of the XML file. The author view displays the individual tags well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Of the three working views for the editor (text, grid, and author), I did not see much use for the grid view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As far as I don't think so I ever felt any drawbacks. Even though I'm nontechnical background but still found it easy to use with my requirements and change settings. One thing I can mention is that, after opening the XML file, I need to do indents but it should be default as it's XML file and if one XML tag has a long string then it automatically inserts enter and splits long string into a multiline string which impacts on XSLT transformation.
