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
