Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between XML and HTML?
XML is a strict, self-describing data format where you define your own tags. HTML is a fixed-tag language for web content. XML requires all tags to be properly closed and nested.
Can I adjust the indentation?
Yes. The tool supports 2-space, 4-space, and tab indentation options.
Is any data sent to a server?
No. All formatting and validation runs in your browser.
Can it handle large XML files?
The tool processes XML in-memory in your browser. Very large files may be slow, but no strict size limit is enforced.
