XML Tools are software applications designed to create, edit, and manage XML (eXtensible Markup Language) files. These tools help users structure data in a way that is both human-readable and machine-readable, making it easier to share and transport information across different systems. Common features include syntax highlighting, validation against XML schemas, and transformation capabilities using XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations). Many XML Tools also offer functionalities for debugging and optimizing XML documents. They can assist in converting XML data into other formats, such as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or HTML (HyperText Markup Language), enhancing interoperability between various applications and platforms.
