XML Tree View

Format XML to see tree view

XML Tips:

  • • Always close tags properly (<tag>content</tag>)
  • • Use proper nesting (no overlapping tags)
  • • XML is case-sensitive (<Tag> ≠ <tag>)
  • • Attributes must be quoted (<tag attr="value">)
  • • Use entities for special characters (&lt;, &gt;, &amp;)
  • • Include XML declaration for best practices
  • • Use comments for documentation (<!-- comment -->)
  • • Validate against XSD for strict validation

Common Use Cases:

  • • Configuration files
  • • Data interchange between systems
  • • Web services (SOAP, REST)
  • • Document formats (Office, SVG)
  • • Sitemaps and RSS feeds
  • • Application settings
  • • Data serialization
  • • API responses
