What is XML file?

XML (XML) is a markup language used for exchanging, storing, and defining data. XML files are plain text files that contain specific instructions and can be read by the MS Windows, macOS, and Linux/Unix operating systems. XML data is easy to use with other software applications for further editing or data manipulation. Because of the universality of XML, it is the native language for messaging protocols, webpages and software programs. [ ⏩ ] XML file extension

How to convert the file from XML to SQL?

To successfully convert the XML file to SQL, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.XML).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. XML to SQL. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting XML files to SQL files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension SQL, while before this step we had the XML file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new SQL file, or not.
