XML Formatter

This tool provides a concise, in-browser solution for XML workflow needs. It formats for readability, minifies for compact data, and validates well-formedness to catch syntax errors early. Intended for developers, QA engineers, and data professionals who regularly exchange XML payloads. Conceptually, the tool parses the input XML into a tree, then applies the selected operation and outputs a transformed string. Pretty print produces consistent indentation; minify removes non-essential whitespace while preserving text content; validate reports syntax errors with exact line and column positions. Unique value lies in offering three core operations in a single workflow with clear diagnostics and predictable outputs. Typical use cases include preparing API request bodies, cleaning XML logs, and validating sample payloads for data pipelines. Core features include strict parsing, detailed error reporting, and configurable formatting options. Outputs are produced per operation: a formatted XML, a minified XML, or a validation report. It handles common edge cases like CDATA sections and entity references, while providing meaningful messages when data cannot be parsed. This makes it a practical tool for rapid XML inspection, debugging, and integration testing across software teams.
