What this XML step proves
Attributes carry values that may not appear in element text.
What to review before handoff
Namespace declarations and prefixed attributes can change the meaning of an otherwise identical local name.
List all attributes or filter by attribute name without sending the XML to a server.
Check structure, namespaces, repeated records, mixed content and remote-looking references. Converter pages review generated XML output when that is the handoff artifact.
Reviewing current XML…
Browser DOM parsing checks well-formedness and structure. It is not an XSD/DTD/business-rule validator, sanitizer or permission to trust remote resources; this review does not fetch external schemas or entities.
Attribute extraction is a name/value task. Show which element types own the requested attribute, how many unique values exist and which values repeat.
| Owner element | Attribute path | Value | Frequency |
|---|
XML attribute names are case-sensitive. Local-name mode is useful when namespaces are present, but it deliberately ignores the prefix/URI distinction.
