This tool is ideal for compressing XML before uploading, sharing, or embedding. Useful for developers, engineers, and analysts working with APIs, config files, or large datasets. It helps reduce size and clean up structure without losing data.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before you minify, XML Prettifier is useful if you’re trying to spot issues or clean up the structure first it’s way easier to debug before things get compressed. And if you’re handling XML in larger workflows, Strip XML Tags from Text helps when you just need the raw content, no tags attached.
