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.

User reviews

Hello, Would it be possible to show special characters in the XML with this plugin? For instance, I noticed that "" Characters aren't shown - the text looks like it doesn't even have a line break, everything is written together. In Sublime Text, I can see that there is a special character.
