Description from store
A benefit of XML is that it's "human readable". Egyptian hieroglyphics and EULAs are also "human readable", but not necessarily human friendly. This extension is your friend.
Local file access (file://) is controlled via the chrome://extensions page.
Recent Updates
2.0.3 - Remove "tabs" permission
2.0.2 - Create utils.js script tag dynamically as Chrome broke allowing static tag. Remove webintents logic/permission. Remove View Source and Options as Chrome blocks those now.
2.0.1 - Fix bug in XPath1 functionality. Updates to address localStorage issues when Options have never been saved.
2.0 - XSLT2/XPath2 support via Saxon-CE. Facelift.
1.9.2.1 - Updates due to webintents changes.
1.9.2 - Added webintents functionality to allow application/atom+xml and application/rss+xml to be viewed. Fixed ... bug on self-closing elements. Fixed js exceptions due to 1.9.1.10 updates.
Known Issues
1. Collisions with other extensions inserting unwanted markup (i.e. <style/>).
2. Some XML are served up with an inappropriate Content-Type header or reference unreachable files in DOCTYPE or xml-stylesheet PI causing issues with rendering.
3. Issues with javascript's handling of non-prefixed namespaces (i.e. xmlns="www.shh.com.org";) in documents or duplicated prefixed namespaces (i.e. the prefix is the same and the URIs differ) could cause valid XPaths to fail using XPath Results functionality.
4. Caching of HTTP URLs in XSL widget.
5. XSL widget does not handle stylesheets that do import or include due to limitations in the javascript xsl processor.

- (2024-09-11) Christina Rauscher: Hello, Would it be possible to show special characters in the XML with this plugin? For instance, I noticed that "
" Characters aren't shown - the text looks like it doesn't even have a line break, everything is written together. In Sublime Text, I can see that there is a special character.

- (2021-07-08) Michael Ulloa: Me ha funcionado perfectamente, aunque me molesta un poco el hecho de que al hacer doble click (yo esperando que me seleccione un texto), me cierra un elemento. Pero aparte de ese disparate, recomendado.

- (2020-07-10) Dan Madoni: The only XML viewer I found after a frustrating search that provides a way to view the XPath for a selected element, thank you! (Others claim to do this, but this extension is the only one that worked for me.)
