Frequently Asked Questions
Does the XML formatter validate well-formedness?
Yes. The formatter parses the XML structure and displays error notifications if your markup has missing closing tags, unquoted attributes, or invalid characters.
Does formatting alter XML data or attributes?
No. The formatter only adjusts whitespace, tag indentation, and newlines. Node values, attribute keys, and attribute values remain completely untouched.
Can I minify XML to save bandwidth?
Yes. The tool includes a minify mode that strips all extraneous indentation and newlines between XML elements, ideal for production API payloads.
