XML editor?

I'm currently using Notepad++ to write XML, and that's OK. The trouble is, I have an absolute boatload of it, so I'd like some means of verifying that all the opening/closing tags match up etc and there are no typos, and N++ doesn't do that (from what I can tell). I.e. if I miss out a closing tag, it doesn't highlight it UNLESS the text caret is on the line that corresponds to the missing tag, which is far from ideal.

Is there a better tool for writing XML?

Why would one write XML ?

Why not have eg. a database containing the data ... and the exporter then outputs valid xml/json/csv ...

Think even working with phpmyadmin for mysql "manipulation" is more easier (except copy paste situations).

The bigger a file (xmls are usually big :D) the more cpu hungry is live validation.

Have a look there for a plugin for your npp.

I just am.

Found the XML Tools plugin, which did the job. Amazingly I only made two errors in 664 lines of XML.

Thanks.
