how to open huge XML file?

by WarFrog

I've got a huge (108 MB) XML file that I need to open, and I don't know how to do it.

Can anyone recommend some kind of utility software, hopefully freeware, that I can use to view what's in this file?

I'm using a PC with Windows 7.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    If you want to see the code yourself to the code, you can use Notepad++. It should open the file for you. You will find certain custom tags in that which will be coded. The same can be done by opening the file in Internet Explorer also (although I am not sure if it can open a 108mb file, but you can try as Internet Explorer already exist on your PC).

    If you have Microsoft Excel, use that. Right click->open With -> Microsoft Excel. It will give you three options to choose from.

    • As an XML list
    • As a read-only workbook
    • Use the XML Source task pane
    Choose "As an XML list". You may receive a message as "The specified XML source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create a schema based on the XML source data." Click ok and proceed. Here you will view the data in a format in which you can read.

    If you don't have Microsoft Office, maybe you can try open office as well.


    I hope some of these ways work out. :-)

      Thanks, Mohit.

      I don't know why it didn't occur to me try MS Office applications...
      Opening it with Excel did work.
      Then I tried opening it with Access, and that worked, too.

      Thanks again.

    I would say notepad++ or even netbeans, with enough memory of course.
