PS Prashil S. Full-stack Developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/28/2024 "A good but complex editor for XML" 4/5 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.

PU Priyanka U. Senior Lead Technical Writer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/31/2022 "Oxygen XML Editor: a wonderful tool for structured Help" 4/5 What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor? Oxygen has plenty of beautiful features. To name a few: It is XML-based, so easy and precise code troubleshooting. It has substantial editable output format options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor? Oxygen has some disliked features: There isn't any help available on the internet. The dropdown list of individual featured tabs is long and complex. The interface categorizing projects and files is not modern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Oxygen XML Editor: Oxygen XML Editor brings with itself excellent features but it also lags due to some of the challenges. If you are someone who is looking at cost-effectiveness and ease of use, the Oxygen XML editor is the one. With its extensive features and ability to hold multiple projects under one product, it also offers a huge list of the possible output format. It also works towards satisfying your bent towards XML editing: this one makes troubleshooting way easy. On the other hand, if you are looking at cloud enablement, feel free to explore other tools in the documentation market. Also, for DX writers, Oxygen XML editor may not be the one as you will have to dig and design the unstructured content all by yourself. Automation is one big functionality where the tool scores none. So before going in for the purchase step, I recommend one can evaluate the tool as the trial version and explore it. TIP: You can go for multiple evaluation copies using unique email addresses to buy the time you might need to explore it completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
