Frequently asked questions
What XMLDir does, how it works, and what to expect from the private beta.
- What is XMLDir?
- XMLDir is an XML intelligence workspace. It ingests XML files, feeds, sitemaps, schemas, and vendor payloads, then lets teams search their structure, validate them, compare versions, and monitor them for changes.
- Which formats does XMLDir support?
- XML, RSS, Atom, sitemap.xml and sitemap index files, SOAP envelopes, XSD, and DTD. Anything well-formed XML can be ingested; format detection labels the common ones automatically.
- How does search work?
- Every ingested document is broken down into a namespace-aware XPath map with occurrence counts, attributes, and sample values. You can then search across every document by node path, attribute name, or sample value.
- What does a semantic diff show?
- Instead of noisy line-by-line text differences, XMLDir compares the extracted structure of two versions — which node paths, attributes, and namespaces were added, removed, or changed, including occurrence and sample-value changes.
- How does monitoring work?
- Register a URL source and enable monitoring. XMLDir re-fetches it on a schedule, stores a new version when the content changes, diffs it against the previous version, and records an alert with the change count.
- Is my data private?
- Yes. Each account only sees its own sources and documents, enforced at the database level with row-level security. Internal payloads and samples stay out of any public index.
- Can I redact sensitive values?
- XMLDir is built for redaction-ready samples — you keep the structure and quirks that matter for debugging while stripping identifiers, tokens, and personal data before sharing examples with the team.
- Is XMLDir available now?
- XMLDir is in private beta. You can request early access and we will reach out to set up your workspace.
