XML Tree

Description from extension meta

Displays XML data in a user friendly way.

Image from store XML Tree

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.

(2020-04-09) Matt Theule: I tried many other extensions to format XML returned from websites (not XML files on the local PC). This was the only one I found that met my needs. Thanks
(2020-03-05) Shizuku Tsukishima: Don't show elements nodes, attributes or text only
(2019-09-03) Everton Álvaro: Funcionou muito bem
(2019-07-30) Flower Bot: It seems to only allow for reading files with xml extension. I view SharePoint rest results in the browser and these do not have an extension - does not seem to be a way to force it to view as a tree...
(2019-06-09) Daniel Garcia: Particularmente me sirve.

(2018-04-10) Paul Schmidt: Ne fonctionne pas
(2017-11-24) Ramon Kostwinder: Very nice plugin! One suggestion: it would be nice if you can use it on local files (not localhost, but C:\test.xml for example)
(2017-09-15) Andrey Tuzhilin: 1. Source and Options buttons are not working 2. View Source is not a feasible option (see JSON Formatter for a good example)
(2017-06-06) Gabriel: This is really helpful when I need to use iframe to display xml page on my current job, thanks a ton!
(2017-05-13) Sandro Alvares: Não deveria carregar o local, o local esta com PHP e vejo dentro tela de navegador cheio xml, não funciona visualizar XML TREE, todas vezes e copio a tela para colocar http://www.cleancss.com/xml-beautify/ ... XML TREE não ajudou.
(2017-04-19) Jussi Palo: Only works after a few refreshes of the page, or then not.
(2017-04-14) arlynn hou: I don't know how to use it. when I click the extension icon, it direct to the google chrome extension net store. maybe I don't have a right posture?

(2020-04-18, v:2.0.2) Pieter Zijerveld: Doesn't work on big XML files.
When I request an XML file with 10 items (64 lines / 8Kb file) XML Tree works great. When I request the same XML file, but adjust the query to return 100 items (6320 lines / 638Kb file) during the same browser session, XML Tree doesn't format it anymore. The only variable is the size of the XML.
(2019-06-20, v:2.0.2) Dan Atkinson: Fold all elements to specific level
Hi! I would like the ability to fold the elements to various levels. Currently you can achieve the same thing in Notepad++ and VS Code using Alt+0, Alt+1, Alt+2... Pressing Alt+0 will collapse the XML and child elements to the root. Pressing Alt+5 will collapse the XML to the fifth level.
(2019-04-19, v:2.0.2) jose juan isaac taveras: local file not rendering
window is just empty; working correctly for remote file; its a local file -> i enabled access to local drive; i will follow up on this at some point but do you have any suggestion as to why it might not work? I don't really understand the known issues.
(2019-03-22, v:2.0.2) I cannot get the XML tree to enable.
each time I enable to Extention XML tree it disables even after pressing update on top left corner how do i fix this..
(2019-01-10, v:2.0.2) Dietmar Krauß: XML Tree as standalone tool/library
Hi Alan, love your tool and use it for multiple years now. Pretty much my standard. I was wondering if I could use it some own Web app experiments. Is it available as a JS library which I can plug in into own JS projects? Best Dietmar
(2018-06-07, v:2.0.2) Dan Atkinson: Force XML Tree to parse the document as XML
Sometimes I open XML files in the browser that do not have the XML extension. However, there is no way to have XML Tree handle this without changing the file extension. For remote resources this simply isn't possible so it'd be great if either a context menu item was added or (preferably) a new item was added to the browser action that enables this. Many thanks.
(2018-05-24, v:2.0.1) Alan Stroop: Extension Issues May 2018
I've submitted a bug to the Chromium devs. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=846428 Hopefully a resolution won't take too long.
(2018-02-13, v:2.0.1) How to view XML file in XML tree?
Hi - I have downloaded XMLtree plugin but my XMLs are still getting opened in chrome as it was earlier. How can I view my XML in XMLtree ?
(2017-11-02, v:2.0.1) Dan Field: alternative mime types
Is it possible to add additional mimetypes to render as XML. e.g. application/marcxml+xml is common in my industry. The ability to add a list of custom mimetypes which would all be treated as XML would be excelent
(2017-10-20, v:2.0.1) copy & paste not working
In Chrome: Version 61.0.3163.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) I can no longer copy XML text from XML Tree. I see that this is a known problem (mentioned in Scrollbar not working below) but any idea on when this could be fixed or any work around?
(2017-10-16, v:2.0.1) dusselduck1: Count children + index
I mostly use this addon with OData services and it would be very useful to see the number of children a node has and the index of the children.
