What is a .xml file?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a verbose, self-describing markup language using nested tags, attributes, and namespaces to represent structured, hierarchical data. It supports schemas, entities, and validation and underlies many document and data formats. It remains common in enterprise, publishing, and interchange contexts.

How to use this file

Use an example XML file to test parsers, namespace and schema validation, XPath queries, and protection against entity-expansion and external-entity attacks.

Code examples

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse("sitemap.xml")
root = tree.getroot()
print(root.tag, [c.tag for c in root][:5])
