jSimpleX

jSimpleX is a Java-based software utility that enables you to seamlessly convert XML pages to HTML format using stylesheets. It doesn't contain complex options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all user levels.

No setup necessary, besides Java

As long as you have Java installed on your PC, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can save the program files anywhere on the disk and just click the executable to launch jSimpleX. Another possibility is to keep it stored on a USB flash drive, in order to directly run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers. It doesn't modify Windows registry settings.

Simple interface and options

Made from a large window with a simplistic appearance, the interface invites you to open XML or XLST documents, view their content in XML format, make any modifications if necessary, as well as explore all their files.
It's possible to use a basic search function, replace keywords with something else, undo and redo your actions, transform stylesheets, as well as convert XML files to HTML format in batch mode.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't come across any difficulties in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software tool didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. It had minimal impact on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM.
However, it hasn't been updated for a long time, and its interface could use some improvements. Nevertheless, jSimpleX offers a simple solution for converting XML files into HTML format, and it can be used by anyone with ease.
