What xml editor to use.
I need to find a free xml editor to edit the attached file. I'm not sure if saying it's compressed is the correct term, but the format is not editable in just a regular code editor or notepad. Can someone recommend one or at least know what to look for as a feature in one so I can find one that will work for me?
I don't want to purchase one because I only need to edit it just one time.
Thanks for any advice.
default-settings.xml

Russ,
When I try to get the visual studio on my computer, it forces me to pay a monthly fee to use it. Do you have a link to where I should be able to get it to use for free? I've had a couple projects lately that require it, but had to pass on them because I didn't want to add another monthly payment.
zC2,
After I edit using your editor, will I be able to convert it back to the format in the file attached also by using ctrl+l?

Dzynit,
No, there is no such a feature. But the reformatted XML will remain well-formed and still readable by the application supposed to read it.

Thanks. I'll try that. I'll just need to edit the code in my plugin for the import function. I see now it's base64_encode. I assume maybe the original programmer used that format to reduce the file size. I can't believe it took me two days to finally find that code :)

Thanks much to both of you!
You are welcome.
Both tools are absolutely free. Visual Studio takes a while to install and it might be overkill but honestly it has very good XML tools.
