Why does XML header of the FME generated file displays the XML header as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" > instead of <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

Hello ​@aashnaparikh, thanks for posting! The standalone declaration is an optional XML header attribute, and it’s not something we currently generate. You can add it using XMLTemplater by writing a custom header in the ROOT section. Just make sure Write XML Header parameter is set to No.

If you’re able to share how the XML is being generated, I can look into adding a parameter to support the standalone declaration in the tool. Happy to help, Kailin.
