Convert PDB PLUCKER to XML

The PDB (Palm Database) file extension, used with Plucker eBooks, is designed for storing eBooks on Palm OS devices. Plucker, an open-source eBook reader, converts various document formats, including text, PDF, and HTML, into PDB files for offline reading. Introduced in the early 2000s, Plucker facilitated mobile access to digital content before the widespread adoption of modern eBook formats. Its simplicity and open-source nature made it popular among early mobile users and developers.

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.
