What is an XML Formatter?
An XML formatter is a developer utility that parses Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents, structures them with clear indentation, and validates them for syntax errors. It converts minified or poorly structured XML into a readable format while verifying tag hierarchy.
Features
- Custom Indentation: Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or Tab indentations.
- Tag Validation: Automatically check if your XML tags are correctly matching and nested. Detects unclosed or mismatched tags instantly.
- Empty Element Collapsing: Toggle option to collapse tags like
<tag></tag>to self-closing<tag />tags. - Comment Retention: Keep comments intact or clean them up from the output.
- CDATA & Namespace Support: Safely formats tags with namespaces, CDATA structures, and XML declaration lines.
