The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The files are often between 42 KB and 2 MB in size. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. The keywords <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, -- GXML Toolbox V3, <!-- GXML, http://www.gaeb-toolbox.de/, Toolbox V3.2, gtcConverter.dll used, GAEBInfo, <GAEB xmlns="http://www.gaeb.de/GAEB_DA_XML/200 and Version are typical for these files.
