As you probably know, HTML is a "markup language" that uses "tags" (such as and <br> and <p>) to mark up text for formatting. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the universal format for structured documents and data on the Web.

Both HTML and XML use <, >, and & to create element and attribute structures. While HTML browsers accept or ignore mangled markup language, XML parsers and applications built on those parsers are less forgiving

The Html2Xml webservice takes an Html text and converts it into an Xml text. Some corrections are done to the Html to make it well-formed Xml.

You can use this webservice to screen scrape a web page and convert it to Xml. The Xml can then be used for further processing.

The Html2Xml is also registered in the UDDI registry.
