Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is XML?
A: XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. It's a markup language designed to store and transport data. Unlike HTML, XML tags are not predefined; you must define your own tags, making it a flexible way to describe structured data.
Q: Will this tool validate my XML?
A: This tool is primarily a formatter. While it may fail if your XML is severely malformed, it does not perform strict validation against a DTD or XSD schema. Its main purpose is to improve readability.
