Not exactly.

XMLmind XML Editor is officially supported only on the last two versions 
of macOS. This does not mean that it cannot run on older versions of 
macOS. Being a Java program, this depends on the Java SDK or runtime 
installed on your computer.

Sorry but no.

However, if you proceed as follows, XMLmind XML Editor will almost 
certainly run on your Mac.

(1) Find, download and install on you Mac, a Java SDK or runtime having 
a version equal or greater that 8 (version 8 is sometime called 1.8) 
which is compatible with your version of macOS.

(2) Open a terminal and execute:

java -version

You should see something like this:
--
java version "1.8.0_381"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_381-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.381-b09, mixed mode)
--
or this:
--
java version "11.0.20" 2023-07-18 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.20+9-LTS-256)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.20+9-LTS-256, mixed mode)
---

depending on the version of Java you have installed.

(3) Download the *.zip* distribution of latest version of XMLmind XML 
Editor

https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_download/xxe-perso-10_5_0.zip

and install it by unzipping it anywhere you want.

This step is documented here: "Install on Linux or alternative install 
on the Mac",
