Jaxe for Windows 10 - Full description

Jaxe is an open-source XML editor written in Java for people who create and maintain structured documents. Rather than limiting editing to a raw XML tree or source code, it presents documents through a graphical, document-oriented interface. Its layout and editing rules can be configured for a particular document type, making it useful for structured narrative content as well as other schema-based XML projects.

The editor can validate a document as it is written. When an element is inserted, Jaxe checks which elements are allowed at that point, helping authors follow the document structure while they work. A separate complete-validation command checks the finished document. Panels show the document tree, the elements permitted at the current position and the attributes of the selected element. Users can also switch to view the XML source, use contextual menus and undo or redo multiple editing actions.

Document-specific behavior is set up with an XML schema and a configuration file that defines the graphical interface. Java modules can extend this setup with customized interfaces. Jaxe includes examples for XHTML Strict, DocBook and XPAGES, along with a schema for online courses. XPath search helps locate content in larger documents, while online help can be based on the active XML schema. Spell checking is available with English, French and German dictionaries, and an equation editor supports mathematical content.

For reviewing and sharing work, Jaxe can display an HTML preview generated with an XSLT stylesheet. It can also export XML and create PDF output through XSLT and XSL-FO stylesheets. These options let authors inspect rendered content and prepare documents for other workflows without treating the visual editor as a substitute for the underlying XML source.

Jaxe is free, open-source software and requires Java. It supports multiple operating systems through Java and includes English, French, German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish localizations, selecting the system language by default. It is suited to authors, educators and organizations working with defined XML formats who need guided editing, structural validation and document output tools.
