What is XML?
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language designed to store and transport data in a human-readable and machine-readable format. It uses opening and closing tags to define elements, and supports attributes within tags. XML has been widely used for configuration files, web services (SOAP), and document formats like SVG and DOCX.
What is the difference between XML and JSON?
JSON is lighter, easier to read, and natively understood by JavaScript. XML supports attributes, comments, mixed content (text + child elements), and schemas (XSD). JSON has largely replaced XML for REST APIs, but XML remains dominant in enterprise systems, document formats, and SOAP web services.
When is XML a better choice than JSON?
XML is preferred when you need rich document structure with mixed content (text interspersed with tags), when working with existing enterprise systems or SOAP APIs, when using XML-specific technologies like XSLT, XPath, or XSD validation, or when producing document formats like SVG, DOCX, or RSS/Atom feeds.
Is my data private?
Yes. All parsing and conversion happens entirely in your browser. No XML or JSON is sent to any server. You can safely use this tool with internal configuration files or proprietary data.
