Opening Large XML Documents

The Liquid Studio can open XML documents of any size so there is not an XML file size limit.

Note: These limits also apply to documents of other types such as JSON documents, text files or Binary files. Depending on your PCs capabilities, you may be able to set these values much higher.

Standard Editors
The standard Editors features are automatically turned on and off depending on the size of the document as follows:
  • Turn off Document Outlining for files larger than 10MB.
  • Turn off Syntax Highlighting/Intellisense in files larger than 10MB.
You can change these default values using the menu:
Tools->Options->Environment->Performance

You can also turn individual features on/off from the toolbar when a document is open.

Large File Editor
The Large File Editors is automatically invoked depending on the size of the document as follows:
  • The file is larger than > 75 MB.
  • A single line is longer than 256 KB.
You can change these default values using the menu:
Tools->Options->Editors->Large File Editor

The Large File Editor can open files of any size (> 1 TB) as it pages the data from disk. This restricts the functionality, but still allows you to use the tools Format Document and Validation.
