SOAP XML Formatter

The SOAP XML formatter ingests raw SOAP envelopes and emits well-formed, human-readable XML with consistent indentation. It preserves namespaces and CDATA sections while reflowing all element content to readable lines. It does not modify data semantics; it only adjusts layout.

Conceptually, the tool parses XML into an in-memory tree, then uses a deterministic printer to emit each element on its own lines with indentation proportional to nesting. It can honor user options such as indentation size and optional line wrapping, and it reports parse errors with line/column when possible.

Who benefits: developers, QA engineers, API integrators, and support staff who frequently inspect SOAP traffic across services and environments. Unique value: robust handling of SOAP envelopes, clear diff-friendly output, and lightweight processing without external dependencies.

Core features & use cases: pretty-printing, whitespace normalization, comments and CDATA preservation, error diagnostics, and quick copy/export of formatted XML. Typical workflows include formatting logs, preparing samples for documentation, validating received responses, and diffing before changes.
