sxedit

XML editor based on Saxon CE, CKEditor, and BaseX

As file storage, sxedit currently relies on a BaseX server with RESTXQ. You need to install a custom XQuery module in its webapp directory.

But you can also start editing from scratch and download the XML file to your hard disk. Please note that due to security constraints of the browsers, you need to serve the main editor page, currently only for TEI P5, from a Web server. Editing with a local editor page is possible if you set an appropriate option in your browser. For Chrome, it is -allow-file-access-from-files. In Firefox, go to (about:config) and switch security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy to false.

After editing, you can download the XML file. This seems to be working in Chrome only, for the time being.

sxedit needs to be customized for each XML vocabulary and for each storage backend. Please look at the TEI P5 customization for an example.
