This is very useful and it's actually something that I once tried to code.

Thanks for sharing with us ! It's a great extension.

OH GOD THANK YOU.
I started trying to write something like this but I didn't get very far. xD
Glad to see I was beaten to it.

Wow it even ignores formating styled XML pages. Nice. :3
Is there a chance you could add a page action for styled XML pages to remove the styling and view the tree instead?

new updated version available.
much faster rendering and support for larger files.

please feedback.

Tip: If you change:

"matches": ["http://*/*"],

To:

"matches": ["http://*/*", "file://*/*"],

In "manifest.json"
Then xmltree works for local files too!

Ah man this is nice, thx very much, really usefull ! :=)

They actually enabled that?
Last I checked, file:// wasn't an allowed protocol in matches. (That was a few versions ago though.)

Sorry for the newbie question, but where do I find manifest.json so I can modify it?

I could really use a chrome xml viewer that works on local files. I am so tired of waiting for firefox to load.

Thank you,
John

in WinXP, the extension folder is located here

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions

manifest.json is located in the XML Tree folder

Just for a bit more clarification the XML Tree folder will be a jumble of letters.
If you have a bunch of extensions and themes you can find the name of the folder by going to here.....
chrome://extensions/
...just put that in the url bar, omnibox or woteva its called, it will be the ID of the extension
