Looking for Specification of XML Export Format

Hi Adobe Community!

I'm a software developer, and I need some help to create an application that exports a timeline with multiple clips and markers into Premiere.

I could probably use the XML Export / Import Format. But where do I find the documentation / specification to it?

The xmeml standard is the old Apple Final Cut 7 interchange format. All the online Apple documentation on this subject seems to be taken offline, for instance here:

https://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=97%26section= 3

or

https://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/chapter_97_section_3.html

Can anyone provide a copy of the old specification or point me to a place, place where I can find Adobe's specifications? Or maybe name an alternative?

Thanks and best regards,

Frank T.

Adobe has no FCP XML specifications; we rely on Apple's, as we write compliant FCP XML.

Sorry, I don't have a source for their docs.
