In addition, Oxygen XML provides support for editing numerous other types of documents (all XML document types and even some non-XML formats).

Oxygen XML supports editing a large variety of document types, including JSON, JSON Schema, YAML, Markdown, CSS, LESS, Java, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Text, Properties, Batch, Shell, PowerShell, Dockerfile, and more. There is also minimal support to edit XML files in Text mode, and you have access to the Outline view, syntax highlights, and validation and content completion if a schema is associated with the document.

Each type of document has unique features and options and this chapter includes a large amount of information about editing numerous types of documents and various editing features that are provided in Oxygen XML, including general information about editing XML documents in Text mode, the visual Author mode, and Grid mode.
