Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML formatter?
An XML formatter (or XML beautifier) takes raw or minified XML and reformats it with proper indentation and line breaks, making it easier to read and debug.
Can I minify XML with this tool?
Yes. Click Minify to strip all whitespace between tags and produce the most compact valid XML representation.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All parsing and formatting happens in your browser using the built-in DOMParser. Your data never leaves your machine.
