# kPMDataFormatXMLMinimal

## Declaration

```swift
var kPMDataFormatXMLMinimal: PMDataFormat { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Specifies an uncompressed data format that is approximately 3-5 times smaller than kPMDataFormatXMLDefault. This data format is only compatible with macOS 10.5 and later. This format is a good choice when you do not need to use the data in versions of macOS prior to 10.5 and you need a pure XML representation of the data.
