XML
WebStorm brings powerful XML editing support that includes:
Validation and syntax highlighting.
Code completion (Ctrl+Space).
Indentation (Ctrl+Alt+I, Ctrl+Alt+L).
Formatting (Ctrl+Alt+L) according to the XML code style.
Intention actions (Alt+Enter).
Viewing code structure (Alt+7).
Navigation in the source code (Ctrl+B).
Integrated documentation (Ctrl+Q).
Search for usages (Alt+F7).
Lines of code (Ctrl+/, Ctrl+Shift+/).
Unwrapping and removing statements (Ctrl+Shift+Delete).
Generating schemas from instance documents and vice versa.
WebStorm uses Xerces 2.11, an XML parser developed by Apache Software Foundation Group.
