Xopus is a validating in-browser in-place wysiwyg XML editor.

XML: User Friendly Editing

With Xopus normal computer users can edit heavy structured XML documents or data. He or she will not notice this, as the experience feels like using an unstructured word processor.

XSL: WYSIWYG

Xopus uses XSLT stylesheets to transform the XML to a user presentable wysiwyg view. The user can edit in this wysiwyg view as if it were a common word processor. All changes are automatically stored in the XML. The XML remains completely separated from the presentation.

XSD: Prevalidating

An XML Schema is used to preserve XML validity. Xopus also uses the XML Schema to guide the user while editing.

Potential actions are validated on the fly. Actions that would render the document invalid are disabled.

What is Xopus?

Xopus is an XML editor. Xopus is friendly because it offers users a WYSIWYG interface. Xopus bridges the gap between word-processing editors and XML editors by providing an easy to use and understand interface for editing complex, structured, and high quality content. Xopus assists the user by providing the user with the logical options when editing, and hiding those options that do not apply.

Why do I need Xopus?

Xopus offers a unique set of features: a friendly user interface, an XSLT generated wysiwyg view, XML schema validation and an extensive API combined in a browser based xml editor. This makes Xopus an extremely flexible and multi-purpose tool.

How does it work?

To fully understand what Xopus can do for you, it is important to understand how the editor works.

What Xopus is not

There seems to be a tendency to mix up what it means to be an XML editor. As such Xopus is easily confused with other kinds of systems that Xopus surely has affinity with. Xopus however, as an XML editor, has a different approach to words like structure, style, friendliness, and flexibilty.
