Frequently Asked Questions

What is XML formatting?

XML formatting adds proper indentation and line breaks to make XML documents readable while preserving their structure.

Does it validate XML?

The tool checks for well-formed XML (matching tags, proper nesting). It does not validate against XSD schemas.

Can I minify XML?

Yes — the Compact button removes all formatting whitespace for minimum file size.

Are CDATA sections preserved?
