Convert HTM to XML

Understanding HTM and XML file formats

HTM is a file extension for HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) files, which are used to create and design web pages. HTML files contain tags and text that define the structure and content of a webpage.

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. XML is used to store and transport data, allowing for a flexible way to create information formats and electronically share structured data.

Converting HTM to XML

Converting an HTM file to an XML file involves transforming the HTML content into a structured XML format. This process may require cleaning up HTML tags and ensuring that the data is properly nested and formatted according to XML standards.
