XML Document Minification
XML documents often contain extensive whitespace and comments for human readability. While helpful during development, this formatting increases file size for data transmission and storage.
What Gets Minified
- Whitespace: Indentation, line breaks, and spacing between elements
- Comments: XML comment blocks
- Processing instructions: Optional XML declarations
Use Cases
XML minification is valuable for SOAP web service payloads, large configuration files, and data exports. Smaller XML documents reduce bandwidth usage and improve parsing performance.
Structure Preservation
Minification preserves the complete document structure. Element hierarchy, attributes, and text content remain identical—only cosmetic formatting is removed.
