XML Documents


The XML filter supports indexing and viewing well-formed XML documents. Metadata extraction is also supported. XML documents are indexed automatically.

To be properly indexed, XML data files must be well-formed XML documents as specified in the Extensible Markup Language Recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml).

Briefly stated, a well-formed XML document contains elements that begin with a start tag and terminate with an end tag. One element, which is called the root or document element, cannot appear in the content of another element. For all other elements, if the start tag is in the content of another element, the end tag is also in the content of the same element.
