About XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is widely used for data storage, configuration files, and data exchange between systems.
A properly formatted XML makes it easier to debug, understand data structure, and maintain code. Our XML formatter helps developers work more efficiently by providing instant validation and beautiful formatting.
