Tips & notes

Every XML document should have exactly one root element wrapping all other elements.
The XML declaration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> is optional but recommended.
Self-closing tags like <br /> are valid; tags without a closing tag are not.
Minifying XML removes all whitespace between tags — ideal for data transmission but hard to read.
Attribute values must always be quoted with single or double quotes.
