Convert XML Files on Mac
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a config file format using the .xml extension. Consul converts XML files to 7 other formats, and 8 formats to XML. Rename a file's extension in Finder and Consul handles the conversion automatically.
What is XML?
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a text-based markup format for storing and exchanging structured data, standardized by the W3C in 1998. Its tags-and-attributes syntax underpins countless config files, data feeds, and document formats, and it's still common for enterprise data exchange.
XML files are stored uncompressed. Nothing is lost to encoding, though they can take more disk space than compressed formats.
XML was developed by W3C and is an open standard.
Opening XML files on a Mac
Quick Look previews XML files. Select one in Finder and press Space.
XML is plain text, so Quick Look previews it and any text editor or web browser can open it, but macOS has no dedicated XML editor.
Consul supports 15 conversions for XML
Consul is the easiest way to convert XML files on your Mac, or to turn other files into XML. Rename file.xml to change its extension, and Consul converts it automatically.
