What is XML Formatting?
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a widely used format for storing and transporting data. While XML is machine-readable, unformatted XML can be difficult for humans to read and understand. Our XML formatter tool takes your compressed or messy XML code and transforms it into a properly indented, well-structured document that's easy to read and debug.
Benefits of Proper XML Formatting
Improved Readability
Proper indentation and line breaks make the XML structure immediately visible, helping you quickly identify elements and their relationships.
Easier Debugging
Well-formatted XML makes it simpler to spot missing tags, incorrect nesting, and other common XML errors.
Better Collaboration
When working in teams, consistently formatted XML ensures everyone can understand and work with the files efficiently.
