XML Truncator-Fixer

XML Truncator-Fixer is a super useful tool that helps you fix XML files. It does this by finding the first error in the XML and then trimming a certain number of characters before that error. After trimming, it uses the awesome xmllint tool to recover your XML file by adding the right end tags automatically. It starts off with a default setting of cutting 50 characters.

Why Use XML Truncator-Fixer?

You might need to change that 50-character setting sometimes. If the error is somewhere in a complicated tag, just trimming those 50 characters might not be enough. This is because xmllint may struggle to fix it properly without some extra help. The reason for needing more space to trim is that the XML validator isn’t always perfect at finding where the problem starts. Often, it won't flag the corruption for several characters after it begins.

How Does It Work?

The process is pretty straightforward! First, you run your XML file through this handy tool. It scans through looking for issues and when it finds one, it trims back those characters you set (like the default of 50). Then, XML Truncator-Fixer calls on xmllint to work its magic and fix up your file by adding any missing end tags.

User-Friendly Interface

This software has a clean and simple interface, so even if you're not super tech-savvy, you'll find it easy to use! Just load your problematic XML file, tweak any settings if needed, and let it do its thing!
