What This Tool Delivers

Powered by the Monaco editor (the same engine behind VS Code), the XML Beautifier & Minifier gives you line-numbered editing, bracket highlighting, and real-time validation while you paste, upload, or handcraft XML. Beautify documents with adjustable indentation, switch to multi-line attributes, or collapse everything into a compact minified payload for transport.

The tool parses your markup instantly, surfaces parser errors with helpful summaries, counts elements and attributes, and keeps both beautified and minified versions at the ready. Use it to clean SOAP responses, sitemap files, RSS feeds, configuration manifests, or any structured XML before committing to source control or sending to partners.

Best Practices for Clean XML

Proper Nesting: Ensure tags are opened/closed in order and never overlap, especially when multiple namespaces or components render snippets.

Attribute Discipline: Keep attributes quoted, grouped consistently (inline or multiline), and avoid mixing configuration data between attributes and child nodes.

Whitespace Strategy: Use beautified XML for readability and diffs, then minify for CI/CD pipelines or CDN delivery—the tool lets you swap between both in seconds.

Schema Awareness: Validate against XSD or DTD when possible to catch structural issues; this editor is a perfect staging step before running strict validators.
