# persistence.xml Editor

Rather than edit the XML for `persistence.xml`, this release of Dali provides an editor that automatically populates the file's `<persistence-unit>` element, its `transaction type` attribute as well as its `<provider>`, `<class>`, data source and `<properties>` sub-elements. The edtior also enables you to edit the file directly.
