Powerful Features for XML File Splitting

📚 Two Flexible Splitting Modes

Split your XML files exactly how you need: by object count (set number of records per file) or by column value (group data by specific element values like department, region, or date).

🌍 Cross-Platform Compatibility

Works seamlessly on Windows, Linux, and macOS – no system-specific workarounds or emulators needed for your XML splitting tasks.

🖱️ GUI + CLI for All Use Cases

Intuitive point-and-click GUI for one-time splits, and command-line interface (CLI) for automation, scheduled jobs, and integration into data pipelines.

⚡ Blazing Fast Processing

Process millions of XML rows in under a minute – no more waiting for slow, inefficient XML splitting tools.

🔒 100% Local & Secure

All XML file processing happens on your local device – no file uploads to external servers, keeping your sensitive data private and secure.

💾 Save & Reuse Sessions

Save your XML split configurations as sessions to repeat the same task with one click – avoid reconfiguring settings for recurring jobs.
