Hextant is a structured editor. This means that when you use Hextant, what you're editing is not the textual representation, but the Abstract Syntax Tree of the thing you edit. More precisely, Hextant itself is not a structured editor, but a framework for easily creating structured editors (or AST-editors) for different data formats and languages.
To learn more about the concept of structured editors, you can read this article: What is a structural editor.
To learn how to create editors using the Hextant framework, checkout this tutorial: Writing plugins.
