XML Text Extractor

Hosted on ApyHub

What it does

XML Text Extractor pulls readable text content out of XML files and returns it as a single data string. Send either an uploaded .xml file to /file or a remote XML file URL to /url.

Use preserve_paragraphs when you want the extracted text to keep paragraph breaks instead of flattening everything into one block. The file endpoint accepts the XML upload plus preserve_paragraphs as a string value of true or false. The URL endpoint accepts url and preserve_paragraphs as a boolean.

This is useful when you need to turn XML into plain text for downstream parsing, search indexing, review workflows, or content extraction pipelines. If you're building a tool that ingests XML feeds, documentation exports, or structured content from third-party systems, XML Text Extractor gives you the cleaned text without extra markup.

The response is minimal and predictable: you get data back with the extracted text content from the document.
