What is XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language used to structure electronic documents. It is designed to be both human-readable and machine-readable and is widely used to represent arbitrary data structures, for example, in web services.

XML Operations Explained

Formatting: Adjusts XML code into an easy-to-read format with standard indentation and line breaks. Deformatting: Typically refers to removing indentations and extra whitespace from XML code, compacting it, sometimes also known as minifying or compressing. Validation: Checks the correctness of an XML document against XML syntax rules and optionally against a schema (like DTD or XSD).
