Do we store or see the data you submit?

No, we don't see, store or log any of the information that you enter. The tool doesn't send any of the information that you enter to the server. It works completely on the client side.

What XML standard do we use for validating and formatting XML?

We use the W3C XML Schema for formatting and validating XML.

What can make my XML invalid?

• Syntax errors: The most common issue with XML documents is syntax errors. These errors may include missing opening or closing tags, mismatched tags, or incorrect syntax for attributes.
• Incorrectly formatted XML: XML documents must be properly formatted. The XML parser requires that the document has a root element and that all elements are properly nested within the root element. If the XML document is not formatted correctly, it may be considered invalid.
• Invalid characters: XML documents must be written using the correct character set, such as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. If the XML document contains invalid characters, it may not be able to be parsed correctly.
• Undefined entities: XML documents may contain entities that are not defined, which can cause parsing errors. An entity is a string of characters that begins with an ampersand (&) and ends with a semicolon (;).
• Incomplete documents: An XML document must be complete and self-contained. This means that all opening tags must have corresponding closing tags, and all required attributes must be defined.
