Convert S3DB to XML

Understanding S3DB and XML file formats

The S3DB file format is a database format used primarily for storing structured data. It is often used in applications that require a lightweight, portable database solution. On the other hand, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a versatile markup language that is widely used for storing and transporting data. XML is known for its ability to represent complex data structures in a human-readable format.

Why convert S3DB to XML?

Converting S3DB files to XML can be beneficial for several reasons. XML is a more universally accepted format, making it easier to share data across different platforms and applications. Additionally, XML's human-readable nature allows for easier data manipulation and integration with web services.
