Oxygen XML Editor Reviews & Product Details

I really appreciate the UI interface of Oxygen XML Editor; it makes editing content much easier and allows me to view how the PDF output will look. This feature is particularly valuable for applying conditional tags on the go and reviewing all the required tags swiftly. The interface facilitates an understanding of how the final output flows, which significantly enhances my workflow. Additionally, the setup of Oxygen XML Editor is very easy and seamless, with no issues encountered when connecting to our CMS. This seamless integration allows us to browse our files on the CMS effortlessly. The powerful and efficient search functionality within a book map makes it easier to update entire books in one go, and the built-in terminology checker supports uniform usage of keywords by all writers, adding to its utility and value for my team.

I find that sometimes the PDF publishing in Oxygen XML Editor takes a lot more time than expected. The error display is not very clear, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the error. This lack of clarity makes it hard to decode and solve publishing issues effectively.

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.

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.

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.

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.
