Frequently Asked Questions

What root element name should I use?

Use a descriptive name like "config", "settings", or "application". The root element wraps all your configuration data.

Arrays become repeated elements with the same name. [1, 2, 3] becomes <item>1</item><item>2</item>...

Is the output valid XML?

Yes, the output is well-formed XML with proper escaping. It includes the XML declaration and can be parsed by any XML parser.

Can I convert XML back to TOML?

Yes, use the XML to TOML converter. The conversion preserves structure but may simplify some elements.

What about special characters?

Characters like &, <, > are escaped as XML entities. This ensures the output is valid XML.

Why convert to XML?

XML is required for many enterprise systems, Java applications, and legacy integrations. Convert TOML when XML is mandated.
