Frequently Asked Questions

What is XML validation?
XML validation is the process of checking whether an XML document conforms to syntax rules and structural specifications. Basic validation checks if tags are properly closed, attributes are legal, etc.; XSD validation further checks if XML conforms to predefined data structures and type constraints.
What's the difference between XSD Schema validation and basic validation?
Basic validation only checks if XML syntax is correct (such as tag closure, attribute format, etc.), while XSD Schema validation checks XML structure, element order, data types, etc. against the XSD file you provide, making it a more strict validation method.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely safe! All validation, formatting, and conversion operations of this tool are completed locally in your browser, without uploading any data to the server, ensuring your XML content remains completely private.
What XML formats are supported?
This tool supports standard XML 1.0 format, including XML with namespaces, XML containing CDATA, and other common formats. XSD validation supports the W3C XML Schema standard.
How are attributes handled when converting XML to JSON?
XML attributes are converted to JSON object properties with an '@_' prefix (e.g., <book id='1'> becomes {"book": {"@_id": "1"}}). Element text content is stored in the '#text' field.
