Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pretty-print XML?
Paste your XML into the input field and click "Format / Beautify" to add proper indentation and line breaks, making the nested tag structure easy to read.
What does minifying XML do?
Minifying XML removes all unnecessary whitespace between tags, reducing the file size for faster transmission over networks or more compact storage.
Does formatting XML change the data content?
No, formatting only adjusts whitespace and indentation between tags. All element names, attributes, and text content remain exactly the same.
Can this formatter handle XML with CDATA sections and comments?
Yes, the formatter preserves CDATA sections, comments, and processing instructions like the XML declaration while properly indenting the surrounding structure.
