About XML Formatting
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a widely used format for structuring and exchanging data across applications, systems, and APIs. Raw XML is often written in a single line or without proper indentation, making it difficult to read and debug. Formatting adds indentation and structure so developers, testers, and analysts can easily interpret the data.
In addition to beautifying, XML formatting often includes validation (checking if the XML is well-formed) and minification (removing spaces and line breaks for compact storage).
Why Use an XML Formatter?
- 📌 Beautify XML — make XML more readable with proper indentation.
- 📌 Validate XML — quickly check if your XML is well-formed.
- 📌 Minify XML — compress XML into a single line for smaller file sizes.
- 📌 Debug Data — paste XML responses or files for quick inspection.
