Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upload XML files?

Yes! Click Upload to load .xml, .rss, .sitemap, or .txt files up to 5MB. Download the extracted text with one click.

Does it work with RSS feeds?

Absolutely! Paste your RSS feed XML and extract all article titles, descriptions, and links without the markup.

Can I extract URLs from sitemaps?

Yes. Upload your sitemap.xml file and it will extract all URLs and other text content from the sitemap tags.

What is XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language similar to HTML but designed to store and transport data, not display it.

Does it preserve formatting?

Yes. Enable 'Preserve Line Breaks' to maintain paragraph structure, or disable it to collapse everything to a single line.

What happens to XML attributes?

Attributes are removed. Only the text content inside tags is extracted, not the tag names or attribute values.

Is my data secure?

Yes! All processing happens locally in your browser. No XML data is sent to our servers.

What if my XML is invalid?

Our tool validates the XML using a strict parser. If the XML structure is broken (e.g., missing closing tags), it will report an error instead of producing garbage output.

Does it handle CDATA sections?

Yes. CDATA sections are handled properly and their text content is extracted along with regular text nodes.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free. No registration required, no limits.
