Frequently Asked Questions
What is XML?
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language for storing and transporting structured data using custom tags, similar to HTML but with user-defined elements.
How to validate XML?
Our formatter validates XML syntax including proper closing tags, attribute quoting, encoding declarations, and well-formedness rules required for valid XML.
Why format XML?
Formatted XML with proper indentation is much easier to read, debug, and maintain. Minified XML is smaller for transmission while formatted XML is better for development.
