About the editor
OPML is based around the concept of an "outline", a hierarchical structure that can represent a wide variety of information. Editors built around this structure are often called "outliners".
Although this editor fully support the OPML specification, it's more tailored for managing RSS/Atom feed lists specifically as a supplement to feed readers.
OPML is a great way to manage and share feed lists. It's simple and widely supported by many feed readers. But often you find that feed readers are a bit rigid, and on the other hand, the files are too large and cubersome to manually edit in a standard text editor. So that's where this editor comes in, it's a simple tool to help you manage your feed lists in a more flexible way. It's tailored for this specific use case and committed to make it as smooth as possible.
About OPML
OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is a simple XML-based file format that is commonly used to structure and exchange hierarchical lists of information (outlines) between applications. The outline format is versatile and can be used to represent a wide variety of hierarchical information, including bookmarks, notes, to-do lists, project plans, and RSS/Atom feeds.
