# Handling XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a widely used format for structured data. It stores and exchanges information using a nested element structure with tags and attributes. XML is common in APIs, enterprise integrations, and document-based data exchange.
Some integrations provide XML files or embed XML in multi-format payloads. You can use Workato to extract structured values from this content, transform the structure, validate it against a schema, or generate new XML during recipe execution.
# XML tools by Workato
