XML Minifier
Validate XML and minify it by removing extra formatting whitespace.
This removes unnecessary formatting whitespace between nodes while preserving valid XML structure.
| Metric | Value |

Privacy: minification runs locally in your browser. No XML is stored or transmitted.
How it works
The minifier parses the XML, removes layout-only whitespace text nodes, and serializes the XML into a compact form.
Examples
- Indented XML → compact one-line or near one-line XML
- Extra spaces between elements → removed when not part of meaningful text
- Invalid closing tags → validation error shown
