?Frequently Asked Questions

Is XML the same as HTML?

They look similar but are different. XML is strictly case-sensitive and requires every tag to be closed. This tool respects XML's strict syntax rules, unlike broader HTML formatters.

Can it handle huge XML files?

Yes, within the limits of your browser's memory. For files larger than 10-20MB, you might notice a slight delay, but it processes efficiently client-side.
