xml hirarchy
Hi,
I have thousands of lines of XML with root parent, children, sibling, grand parent, great grand parent etc nodes amost 10-20 levels down.
How do i see the XML hirarchy in one stroke rather than closing each and every node and finind the hierarchy in log process. Is there is a view in notepad++ or ecllipse which does show the hierarchical view. please advise

Notepad++ has an XML tools plugin that you can use to pretty-print your XML file. Would that help?
i use that still i have to scroll up and down multiple times and close multiple upper tags to identify exact XPATH of the element or hierarch of the element.
eclipse and then click on the "design" view tab.
i do not see design tab. I am using RSA 8.5 built on top of eclipse. Not sure why. please advise
So what happens when you open a xml file in RSA? does it simply open in a text editor?
Check your eclipse file associations under preferences and ensure XML files are opened with the eclipse default XL editor.
Alternatively, try installing a simple vanilla version of eclipse? IBM products are not the best to work with.

outline view does show some hierarchy high level. I wish i have some tool in which i select right click it shows all the path including parent, grand parent , great grand parent etc till room correctly without manually going and chasing to the top?
You may want to have a look at a commercial application like XML Spy from Altova.

Right click what?
'All the path' - what do you mean?
'till room' - what do you mean?
ASKER
'All the path' - what do you mean?
i mean complete xpath of that particular element which is at say great grand child location(leg then room/furniture/table/leg xpath) of original xml whose root is lets say 'room'
<room>
<furniture>
<table>
<leg>
......
</leg>
