Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my XML showing a parse error?
Common XML errors: unclosed tags (every opening tag must have a closing tag), multiple root elements (XML allows only one root), special characters not encoded (& → &, < → <, > → >), and attribute values not quoted.
What is the difference between XML and JSON for APIs?
JSON is lighter, easier to parse in JavaScript, and more widely adopted for REST APIs. XML is more verbose but supports schemas (XSD), namespaces, and attributes — still dominant in SOAP web services, RSS/Atom, Office documents, and some enterprise APIs.
What are XML namespaces?
Namespaces prevent element name conflicts when combining XML from different sources. Declared as: xmlns:prefix="URI" on an element. Example: <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">. The prefix is just a local alias for the full URI.
What is the difference between XML attributes and child elements?
Attributes (name="value" inside a tag) are for metadata about an element. Child elements are for content and structured data. General guideline: use attributes for simple scalar values, child elements for complex or repeatable data.
Can I validate XML against a schema (XSD)?
The formatter validates XML well-formedness. For schema validation against an XSD, paste both the XML and XSD into the Schema Validator tab. XSD validation checks data types, required elements, and cardinality constraints.
