XML attribute string lenght maximum

Q

How long in number of characters can a XML attribute be maximum?
E.g. <mystring>how many characters maximum can be here</mystring>

If you answer something like; it can be as long as UTF-8 .
Then I ask, how long can UTF-8 be in charaters?

That's not an attribute.

But the answer is the same: XML does not place any limits on string
sizes. An attribute with a trillion characters is legal.

Libraries for accessing XML will inherit limits from their
implementation languages, but you're more likely to run into memory
limits on your computer.
