Frequently Asked Questions
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT XML FORMATTING
What is an XML formatter?
An XML formatter is a tool that organizes XML (eXtensible Markup Language) code by adding proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to make it more readable and maintainable. It helps developers and data specialists work with XML documents more efficiently.
Why should I format my XML documents?
Formatting XML documents improves readability, makes debugging easier, helps in identifying structural errors, and simplifies maintenance. It's particularly useful when working with complex XML structures or when collaborating with other developers.
Can this tool validate my XML?
Yes, our XML formatter automatically validates your XML input against proper syntax rules and displays detailed error messages if it finds any issues with your XML structure, missing closing tags, or other syntax problems.
Does the XML formatter support namespaces?
Yes, our XML formatter fully supports XML namespaces, preserving namespace declarations and prefixes while properly formatting the document. It maintains the semantic structure of your XML regardless of complexity.
Can I customize the indentation level?
Absolutely! You can adjust the indentation size to your preference (2, 4, 6, or 8 spaces) to match your team's coding standards or personal preferences when working with XML documents.
Is my XML data secure when using this formatter?
Yes, your security is our priority. All XML formatting operations happen entirely in your browser - your data is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. This ensures complete privacy and security for sensitive information.
