Frequently asked questions

Does it validate against a DTD or XSD?

No — well-formedness only (matched tags, valid entities, single root element). For schema validation, use a dedicated XSD validator.

Will CDATA sections be preserved?

Yes — CDATA, comments, and processing instructions all round-trip correctly.

Why does my output show "parsererror"?

Your input is not well-formed XML. Check for missing closing tags, unescaped < or & in text content, or mismatched quotes in attributes.
