Convert FB2 to XML

The FB2 file extension stands for FictionBook 2.0, a popular XML-based eBook format. Initially developed in Russia for easy parsing and conversion across different eBook readers, it preserves metadata and structure effectively. FB2 is mainly used for fictional literature, allowing detailed descriptions of text formatting, titles, and subtitles, which enhances the user reading experience. Its open-standard nature ensures broad compatibility and ease of modification, making it a preferred choice in digital publishing.

XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is a widely used file extension in computer technology. It is designed to store and transport data, enabling structured information exchange between different systems. XML files are both human- and machine-readable, making them versatile for various applications, including web services, configuration files, and data storage. Originating in the 1990s, XML was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to simplify data interchange and ensure platform independence. Its flexibility and extensibility have made it a standard in many IT environments, fostering seamless integration and data sharing across diverse platforms.
