FAQ
What is XML formatting?
XML formatting (pretty-printing) adds proper indentation and line breaks to XML documents, making them easier to read and debug. Each nested element is indented one level deeper than its parent.
What does XML minification do?
Minification removes all unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and indentation from XML. This reduces file size for faster transmission over networks while keeping the data identical.
Does this tool validate XML?
Yes. The tool uses the browser's built-in DOMParser to parse XML. If the XML is malformed (unclosed tags, invalid characters, etc.), it will show the parsing error with details.
What about XML declarations and CDATA?
The tool preserves XML declarations (<?xml ...?>), CDATA sections, comments, and processing instructions during formatting.
