XML Formatter Beautify

The tool accepts XML text and outputs a formatted version that is easier to read and review. It supports adjustable indentation, optional attribute wrapping, and an option to minify output for compact payloads. Conceptually, the process parses the input into a tree, then traverses it to generate a serialized text with the selected formatting policy. This separation between parsing and serialization ensures the resulting document remains well-formed and faithful to the original structure. Beneficiaries include developers refining integration tests, QA engineers validating payloads, and ops teams deploying configuration files. Unique value comes from combining robust well-formedness checks with flexible formatting rules and explicit handling of CDATA, comments, and namespaces. Core features include: (1) indentation control (size and character), (2) attribute wrapping on separate lines when needed, (3) minified output mode for compact transfers, (4) preservation of comments and CDATA when requested, and (5) encoding awareness (UTF-8 by default). Use cases span API payload formatting, configuration file preparation, and diffs for version control. The tool emphasizes deterministic formatting that reduces inline diffs and supports collaborative editing across environments.
