About this tool
XML shows up in feeds, config files, office documents and SOAP APIs, usually with no whitespace at all. This formatter walks the document element by element and rebuilds it with even indentation, keeping attributes, comments, CDATA sections and self-closing tags intact. Elements that contain only text stay on one line, the way you would write them by hand.
