Convert RTF to XML
What is RTF?
RTF
RTF stores human-readable text with formatting commands in ASCII structure. Data formats store machine-readable structured information. Documents are for reading; data formats are for processing. Extracting structured data from RTF requires parsing the text content manually.
- RTF preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information
What is XML?
XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) stores structured data as human-readable text using custom tags with opening/closing pairs. Hierarchical tree structure supporting attributes and namespaces. Self-describing with schema validation (XSD, DTD). Verbose compared to JSON but more powerful for complex documents. Universal data exchange format. Maximum size limited by parser. Used extensively in office formats (DOCX, ODT).
- XML is a data format
