FAQ
Does this validate XML?
Yes, the tool uses the browser DOMParser to check for well-formedness. Syntax errors like mismatched tags or invalid characters are reported.
Can I minify XML?
Yes. Click the Minify button to compress your XML by removing all unnecessary whitespace between tags.
Is my XML data secure?
Yes. All formatting happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
Does it handle CDATA sections?
The formatter preserves CDATA sections and processing instructions. They are treated as opaque content and not reformatted internally.
