Why format XML

XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. It is a text format for structured data. Systems use XML to exchange data across applications and networks.

Formatting inserts line breaks and indentation to make the document structure easier to review.

  • Indentation shows the element hierarchy.
  • Consistent line breaks make repeated elements easier to compare.
  • Readable structure helps reviewers find missing or misplaced markup.
  • Stable formatting makes source-control changes easier to inspect.

Review the output when whitespace inside text nodes matters. Formatting does not validate an XML schema or prove that another system will accept the document. Validate those requirements separately.
