FAQ

XML Formatter FAQs

Common questions about how XML Formatter works and what to expect from the current AiFolder implementation.

?Does the XML formatter rename tags?

No. Its purpose is presentation and readability rather than changing the names or meaning of your XML elements.

?Why is the URL spelled xml-formater?

AiFolder preserves the existing public slug for compatibility even though the standard English spelling is formatter.

?Can the formatter fix broken XML?

It can identify that input cannot be formatted, but it should not guess how missing or mismatched XML structure was intended.
