Editing xml data feeds may be pretty tiresome and boring pursuit requiring lot’s of attention and time. Especially if XML structure is not valid, which is a pretty common thing for flash websites and galleries. Flash developers in the most of cases do not pay too much attention and care to XML validation and rely only on their own conveniences and habits.

To simplify customization process we released freeXML data analyzer allowing to update XML content of  flash galleries, banner rotators, slide shows and even some templates in visual mode. Mostly we wanted to assist the user to update image/video files in visual mode. The application shows what exact file you are going to edit and allows to see how the changes take effect in real time. This helps to avoid file naming issues like typos and incorrect paths. Text data can be edited as well.

Here is a small screen shot of the application, in the next post we will provide a guidance how import Flashmoto gallery in our CMS application.
