Research direction

The issue names no repository file, entry point, or test; start by investigating whether Chrome's XML viewer is exposed to browser JavaScript. Done would require identifying a callable existing viewer or clearly defining the scope for replacing it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When you view a normal XML file in the browser, Chrome gives you a simple, readable XML viewer. I want to be able to invoke that viewer from a JavaScript app running in the browser. Some kind of JavaScript call like window.xmlViewer (xmltext); The only other option is to rewrite it from scratch, which I'm open to doing but would rather not. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?
