Key capabilities:
  • Configurable 2-space or 4-space hierarchy indentation for nested XML tags
  • XML syntax validation detects unclosed tags, mismatched elements, and illegal characters
  • Preserves CDATA sections, XML declarations, comments, and attribute formatting
  • Client-side parser operates in browser memory to keep enterprise XML data confidential
Tips:
  • Ensure all opening XML tags have corresponding closing tags (e.g. `<item>...</item>` or `<item />`).
  • Special characters inside text content must be XML-escaped (e.g., `&amp;` for `&`, `&lt;` for `<`).
  • Download the formatted file with `.xml` extension for direct use in your build system.
