Format and structure your XML data for better readability.
Reviewed by LipiCode Editorial Team
XML formatting exposes element nesting with indentation and line breaks. Well-formedness requires one root element, correctly nested tags, quoted attributes, and valid entity usage; formatting alone does not validate against a business schema.
Format a compact document to reveal parent-child relationships, then validate it against its XSD separately if the receiving system defines one.
