XML Plus Extension

1. Supports both `CSS` and `XPath` selectors.
2. Supports text search and `Regular Expression` search.
3. Both `querySelectorAll` and `jQuery` flavors of CSS selectors are available.
4. `RegEx` is the only **CASE-INSENSITIVE** one.
5. Highly optimized for large XML files ( > 1MB ).
6. Stand-alone version - extremely fast because of avoiding Chrome's slow loading process.
7. Global `x` variable (`window.x`) is available in DevTools which includes:
* `doc` - raw XML document object
* `root` - root XML element object
* `cur` - current selected node
* `$` - jQuery bound on root element
* `history` - search results
* `$q` - helper for jQuery search
* `cs` - helper for CSS search
* `re` - helper for RegEx search
* `tx` - helper for Text search
* `xp` - helper for XPath search

> Above helpers are `(expression, baseElement = root) => []` and searching on `baseElement` which is `x.root` by default.

Sunil Rajendra (ID: 0000000b831b59b0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/20/2023 This xml extension worked compared to other similar extensions. But it is not working in "Incognito Mode". Tried enabling in the settings "Allow in Incognito" and restarted the chrome. Still it is not working in Incognito Mode. Is it a bug or any suggestions?

Lisa (ID: 000000bccfb1d13c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/10/2023 This is really fantastic. The only thing I'd like to have is line numbering but otherwise near-perfect.

Edward Yang (ID: 000000029ad7e7d3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/03/2020 Functional and very helpful and easy to use. A little issue is that "Stand-alone App" is misleading. I thought it was going open a standalone app, but actually it just opens a new tab.
