The XML Module
The XML module enables you to create and edit XML documents. You can also create
these files, classes, and documents:
- Document type definitions (DTDs) and XML schemas to define the structure
of XML documents
- Cascading style sheets (CSSs) to define the formatting of XML documents
- Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) stylesheets to transform the contents
of your XML documents
- SAX and DOM classes for programs written in the JavaTM
programming language
- XHMTL documentation for your DTDs
The IDE provides two ways of editing XML files:
- In the Source Editor as a text file. The Source Editor provides some basic
functions such as syntax coloring, indentation, and basic code completion.
- In the XML editor, which displays XML documents as a hierarchical set of
nodes. You can create and edit nodes and their properties. The XML editor
displays DTDs in read-only mode.
