Frequently Asked Questions

What is XML formatting?

XML formatting adds proper indentation and line breaks to make XML documents readable. Each nested element gets one level of indentation, making the hierarchy clear and easy to understand.

Does formatting change the XML data?

Formatting only adds whitespace between tags. The actual data, attributes, and structure remain unchanged. However, if whitespace is significant in your XML (e.g., in text nodes), formatting could affect the content.
