XML IS HERE

Import Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, and ATR XML manuals in their native format. No conversion. No second tool. Just OEM content sitting next to your SOPs, training, and compliance — exactly where it belongs.
750+ Aviation Companies Trust Web Manuals
OEM manuals don't belong in a separate world.
Manufacturers are phasing out PDF manuals in favor of XML, forcing Flight Ops teams to translate raw data into usable documentation. Most operators end up running OEM content in a separate tool, with separate workflows, and separate compliance. Web Manuals brings it into one platform.
The platform that edits OEM XML in its native format.
Most platforms convert OEM XML into a proprietary internal format. Edits get reinterpreted. Exports lose fidelity. Migration becomes a project. Web Manuals doesn't do that. Your data goes in as native XML, gets edited as native XML, and exports as native XML.
- Structure gets reinterpreted on import
- Export doesn't match what came in
- Vendor lock-in once data is converted
- Native structure preserved end-to-end
- 1-to-1 export with zero data loss
- Automatic PDF export included
- No lock-in. Your data stays your data.

Frequently asked questions
What is XML in aviation documentation?
XML is the structured data format manufacturers like Airbus, Boeing, ATR and Embraer use to deliver technical manuals. Unlike PDFs, XML separates content from layout, which gives operators flexibility but traditionally requires specialized tools and technical writers to manage.
Which OEM manuals does Web Manuals support?
Web Manuals supports Airbus, Boeing, ATR and Embraer XML manuals natively, and other models following based on customer demand. The system preserves each manufacturer’s original structure, tags, and attributes.
How are OEM revisions handled?
When a manufacturer releases a new revision, you import it and Web Manuals shows your current version side by side with the new one. Changes are color-coded, and you can approve or reject them individually or in bulk. Your edits stay intact.
Will my XML data stay in its native format?
Yes. Web Manuals preserves the original OEM structure throughout import, editing, and export. There’s no proprietary conversion and no vendor lock-in. You can export back to native XML, PDF, or Word at any time.
How does compliance tracking work for XML documents?
All Web Manuals compliance tools work the same way across XML, PDF, and Web Documents. You can link OEM content to regulations and standards, track revisions and applicability, and manage approvals across your full document library from one place.
Can I apply content to specific aircraft tails or types?
Yes. Tag applicability lets you target content to specific tail numbers, serial numbers, or aircraft types, so readers only see what’s relevant to their aircraft.
When will XML be available?
Web Manuals is launching XML support at the Flight Ops Amsterdam event in June 2026, with broader rollout following. Get in touch for an early demo or to discuss your specific OEM documentation needs.
