XML Sample Files for Testing
XML (.xml) stores structured hierarchical data with explicit tags and attributes. Use sample XML files to validate schema handling, namespace parsing, and robust error behavior for malformed markup.

Checksum Verification
Use checksums to confirm file integrity after download.
shasum -a 256 your_file_name_here
# Compare output with SHA256 values listed above.
Where is the machine-readable manifest?
Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.
Use in code — curl, Python, Node, wget
Copy any snippet directly into scripts, test suites, or CI pipelines. All URLs are stable and publicly accessible with no auth required.

Validation Methodology
- Test parser behavior on varied sizes and edge-case encodings.
- Validate text extraction and metadata integrity.
- Confirm conversion and round-trip fidelity where applicable.
