Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool validate against a schema or DTD?
No. This tool acts strictly as a structural formatter (beautifier). It ensures the code is well-formed with matching tags, but it does not validate attributes or hierarchy against specific XML schemas.
Will formatting alter my data?
The formatter only adjusts whitespace, line breaks, and indentation outside of text nodes. The actual tag names, attributes, and text content remain completely intact.
Privacy First
Formatting relies entirely on client-side JavaScript string processing. Your XML code is never transmitted to an external server.
