A simple application that can be used as an xml document viewer is your browser. If you have the latest version of the browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox, you can very well use them for viewing your xml documents.

In your windows explorer just right click the xml file and use the option 'Open with…' to select the browser of your choice or use an xml document viewer that you have downloaded and installed in your computer. This would open up the xml document in that viewer.

Most of the xml document viewers display the xml document in a tree like structure as you would view the folders in your windows explorer. The elements of the documents can be expanded or collapsed using the + or the - sign.

Some of the xml document viewers like MindFusion's XML viewer allows you to even edit the documents and view them. All the leading products for working with xml documents would help you to view the xml documents. Some of the products that you might try are XMLSpy and Xselerator.
