Image to XML

Convert Image to XML on the fly!

XML is a markup language similar to HTML. XML structures, stores, and transfers information and describes what the data is. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a human-readable and machine-readable format and is based on the World Wide Web Consortium's XML 1.0 Specification. There are many languages based on XML, including XHTML and SVG.

Image to XML is a free web application that encodes Image document's content to its equivalent string representation encoded with base-64 digits. Base64 is an encoding scheme to transform binary data into an ASCII text format. Using Base64 encoding, you can directly include images or binary data in your XML, HTML, or CSS documents without needing separate file references.

Why is Base64 encoding needed?

Historically, many data transfer and storage formats use text instead of binary code (HTML, URL schemes, XML, email, and so on). What if the data transfer format is text-based, but you require to transfer the binary data? This is where Base64 encoding comes in. Preliminary processing of Image format is required that the data remains intact without modification during transport or embedding into other (HTML, XML, JSON, or CSS) documents. Base64 encoding solves these problems.
