How do I view an XML or JSON file?
I've clicked on both links and just programing code appears. There is a sort of explanation about using a browser but there's no mention of what I should be using to view the information correctly. I'm hoping that someone here has that answer. Thanks for your time.

What is the URL you are using, and what are you trying to achieve?
Both XML and JSON are data formats that may well look like 'programming code' if you are not used to working with them.
If you want to see the data through a nicely formatted user interface, you may be using the wrong URL.

Thanks for your reply. I just wanted to know how to view the information that the programing holds. The links for each (XML and JSON) are provided, I'm just uncertain what it is I'm supposed to do to "execute" the code in order to see the value of those links.

It's supposed to have information from a family bible.

Thank you so VERY much! This is soooooo MUCH more useful than looking at the programing code!
Can you tell me how you worked this magic so that I'll know what to do the next time I come across this?

No magic involved.😉
The URL you posted included the number 17805360. I opened a Memory from my Gallery and replaced the number showing from mine with 17805360. Presto.

Thanks so much! I saw no instructions about "opening a memory" and replacing the number but I'll certainly see if I can do it myself so I'll know what to do next time! MANY thanks!

You're welcome.
You will likely never see another one with a bad URL like that.0 -
I can't imagine how this could have happened in the first place, unless the link you found was not intended for use by humans, only by application programs. If that's not the case, I suggest you contact the creator of the link to ask them to correct it.
