Install XML Plugin in notepad ++



I have always been a big fan of using plain text editor for XML files rather than GUI based XML tools. But working with plain text editor can be cumbersome. To be able to work with XML files, editor should be able to display XML files in proper format with line breaks, validate if a tag is missing, validate against a schema and so on. I generally use notepad++ for this purpose.

This post will help to install XML tools in notepad++. You can get the notepad ++ from here, if you don't have it now. Follow below steps to install XML tools:



1. Open plugin manager in notepad ++. Go to plugins--> Plugin Manager--> Show plugin manager.


2. Pop up window will open up listing the available plugins for install, plugins to be updated and plugins already installed.

Search and select XML tools in the available plugins list. Click on the install button. It will take some seconds to install.

Restart of notepad ++ will be required to reflect the changes.

Now open notepad++ and go to Plugins-->XML tools, you will find all the actions you can perform on the XML.



Hopefully above tutorial will help.
Thank You
