# Filter XML Files

Filter enables you to extract all or selected content from source XML files. You can specify the elements and attributes to extract from a document by using either the API or an INI file (see Configure Element Extraction for XML Documents). Filter detects the following XML formats:

- generic XML
- Microsoft Office 2003 XML (Word, Excel, and Visio)
- StarOffice/OpenOffice XML (text document, presentation, and spreadsheet)

See File Format Detection for more information on format detection.
