Frequently asked questions
Is text content whitespace preserved?
Yes — only whitespace between tags is stripped; text inside elements is kept as-is.
Will minified XML still validate?
Yes, as long as the original did. Only ignorable whitespace is removed.
How much space does it save?
Depends on indentation depth; deeply nested documents often shrink 30–60%.
