Convert XML to ICML

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.

The ICML file extension stands for InCopy Markup Language, a format developed by Adobe Systems for their Adobe InCopy software, first released with Creative Suite 4 (CS4) in 2003. ICML files are used to store document text, graphics, and page layout settings, enabling seamless collaboration between writers and designers by linking portions of an Adobe InDesign document for editing. This format ensures efficient content management and real-time updates within the creative workflow.
