XML Formatter & Minifier vs XML Formatter (xmlformatter.org)
Both pretty-print and minify XML for free without an account. xmlformatter.org is a dedicated XML beautifier; Gera Tools' formatter parses and re-serialises XML in your browser so the document is never uploaded.
Both format XML well and free. For documents containing anything sensitive — SOAP payloads, config, exported data — Gera Tools formats entirely in your browser.
