XML is a hierarchical, tag-based markup language that stores structured data in human-readable text:
<product id="123">
<title>Noise-Cancelling Headphones</title>
<price currency="USD">199.99</price>
</product>
Why XML still matters
- Industry feeds: Many ecommerce, travel, and finance APIs still publish XML.
- Strict schema validation: XSD / DTD enforce data integrity.
- Rich metadata: Supports attributes, namespaces, and mixed content.
Collecting XML with Proxied
- Fetch feeds through Proxied 4G/5G rotating proxies to bypass IP-based quotas and regional blocks.
- Validate against XSD to ensure clean ingestion.
- Transform to JSON or relational tables downstream.
