Frequently asked questions

Does it validate my XML?

This tool re-indents rather than validates. Use XML to JSON, which parses strictly, if you need to know whether the document is well formed.

Will it break CDATA sections?

Formatting works on tag boundaries, so CDATA content is preserved as written.
