About XML Formatting
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language for storing and transporting data. This tool helps you:
- Format: Add proper indentation and line breaks for readability
- Validate: Check for syntax errors and well-formedness
- Minify: Remove whitespace to reduce file size
- Structure: Visualize XML hierarchy and nesting
Well-formed XML Requirements:
- • Must have a root element
- • All tags must be properly closed
- • Tags are case-sensitive
- • Attributes must be quoted
Common Use Cases:
- • Configuration files
- • Data exchange between systems
- • Web services (SOAP, RSS)
- • Document markup
