You can use the XML/Ada library : http://libre.act-europe.fr/xmlada/

And if you make a nice GtkAda widget for dealing with editing a general
XML file and share it with the rest of use we would be very happy :-)

I guess you don't have to use XML, but there are many tools that deal
with XML that can be nice to use. It depends really on how much data and
how structured you need this data to be.
