Encode TIFF 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.
Encode TIFF to XML is a free web application that encodes TIFF 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 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 TIFF format is required that the data remains intact without modification during transport or embedding into other (HTML, XML, JSON, or CSS) documents. Encoding solves these problems.
