Frequently Asked Questions
What is XML formatting?
XML formatting (or beautification) adds proper indentation and line breaks to XML documents to make them human-readable. It preserves all data while improving visual structure and making the document easier to edit and debug.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, ApexSofteck Tools's XML Formatter is completely free. Format and validate unlimited XML documents without any registration required.
Is my XML data secure?
Absolutely. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the DOMParser API. Your XML is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What formatting options are available?
You can enable auto-format on paste, collapse empty elements (use self-closing tags), and strip XML comments. All options can be toggled independently to match your preferences.
Can I minify XML?
Yes! Click "Minify" to remove all whitespace and compress your XML to a single line. This is useful for reducing file size for production environments.
