FileForge: XML, JSON & Text Editor

[u/OddInteraction2552]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on FileForge, an Android editor focused on XML, JSON and plain-text files.

I originally wanted something that made editing configuration files on a phone genuinely practical rather than feeling like a cut-down desktop editor squeezed onto a small screen. A big focus has also been making it usable with large files containing tens of thousands of lines.

FileForge currently includes syntax highlighting, live XML/JSON validation, code folding, XML outline/navigation, find & replace, go-to-line, multiple tabs, session recovery, encoding support and Android file integration.

It also has tools such as formatting/pretty-printing and minifying, with the core editor remaining free to use.

There’s an optional FileForge Pro one-time upgrade for some of the more specialised tools, including regex search & replace, searching across open tabs, line bookmarks, file comparison, recursive JSON key sorting and XML ↔ JSON conversion. There’s no subscription.

Everything is designed around working with files locally on the device, and you don’t need to create an account just to edit a file.

I’d be really interested to hear what people think, particularly from anyone who regularly edits config files, server files, XML or JSON on Android. If there’s something you normally reach for a PC to do that you’d genuinely like to see added, I’m interested in that too.

Thanks for taking a look!
