<h1>JMRI: XML Editors</h1>
<p>JMRI uses XML for a number of
purposes: to hold decoder definitions, for its <a href=
"XmlPersistance.shtml">persistance system</a> for
configuration and panel information, and to create parts of
the web site from other files.</p>
<p>XML is a text format, and you can edit it with any
convenient text editor (though you might have trouble with
word processors that insist on reformatting the content).</p>
<p>Still, using an editor that's "XML aware" can make things
easier. Those editors can check the syntax as you work, give
you useful hints, and provide more powerful editing
tools.</p>
<p>This page lists XML editors that have been mentioned on
the <a href="https://groups.io/g/jmriusers">JMRI
users discussion group</a>.</p>
<p>For more information on XML itself, please see our
<a href="../../apps/DecoderPro/IntroXML.shtml">introductory
page</a>.</p>

<p>Several users have reported problems with XML Notepad
2007 writing files that can no longer be read by JMRI.
This appears to be a problem with its UDF output
format.</p>
