FetchXML Formatter

This tool formats FetchXML queries used in Dynamics 365 CRM environments. It accepts a raw FetchXML block and returns a consistently indented, well-formed XML string. By standardizing whitespace and line breaks, it reduces cognitive load for developers, admins, and QA engineers who review or deploy FetchXML across reports, views, and data fetch scenarios.
Conceptually, the formatter parses the input as XML, validates well-formedness, and re-emits the document with a standardized indentation and layout policy. It preserves semantics and attribute order while improving readability. It can operate in strict mode that enforces a consistent indent size (2 or 4 spaces) and a compact mode that minimizes line breaks for diffs.
Who benefits: Dynamics developers integrating FetchXML in reports, dashboards, or web resources; administrators auditing existing queries; QA engineers validating performance implications. Unique value: a zero-risk formatter that does not modify query semantics, runs locally or in a lightweight pipeline, and provides deterministic outputs for code reviews and version control.
Core features and use cases include XML well-formedness checking, indentation control, optional compact formatting, and diagnostic feedback for common syntax issues. Use cases include preparing FetchXML for git reviews, aligning queries across environments, and simplifying error tracing during performance tuning.
