What is the difference between EditLive! and EditLive! for XML?

The main difference between EditLive! and EditLive! for XML is the type of content they edit. EditLive! allows users to create HTML within a field on a web based form, whereas EditLive! for XML enables users to create XML within a web-application.

With respect to the differences in the interface, EditLive! provides a rich-text editing field and the editable content in the editor is the HTML document. With EditLive! for XML, this technology is used as a replacement for a HTML Web form. EditLive! for XML includes the full-rich text editing capabilities of EditLive! and also enables other form fields such as text and date fields to be embedded in the document. This provides more of a form-based interface which allows for validation of data against constraints defined in a schema. EditLive! for XML is also packaged with templating to allow developers to create document and form templates using industry standard views and schemas. As the content produced by EditLive! for XML is standard XML, this product is recommended for applications which are XML-enabled.
