Privacy: minification runs locally in your browser. No XML is stored or transmitted.
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
