Basics
What is XML formatting?
XML stores hierarchical data in elements, attributes, and text nodes. A formatter adds indentation around that structure while a validator checks whether tags, attributes, entities, and declarations are well formed.

Troubleshooting
Common XML formatting issues
Empty input
The tool waits for real input instead of inventing a result.
Invalid or unsupported input
Well-formed XML is not automatically valid against an XSD or DTD. Minification can also change insignificant whitespace that some non-compliant consumers treat as meaningful.
Review before reuse
A successful conversion does not prove that the result matches every downstream system or business rule.
