How to Use

Drop the formatted XML into editors, build tools, or documentation immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are attributes preserved?
Yes. Attributes stay attached to the same elements, and CDATA sections remain unchanged.
Does the formatter change element order?
No. Element order is untouched; only whitespace and indentation are modified.
