Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs about XML Minify

Does minification affect the data?

No. Only whitespace between tags is removed. Element content, attributes, and structure remain unchanged.

How much space does this save?

Savings depend on the original formatting. Typically 20-50% size reduction compared to pretty-printed XML.

Will this break CDATA sections?

The simple whitespace removal may affect whitespace-sensitive content. For XML with CDATA or mixed content, review the output carefully.

Can I use this for SVG files?

Yes. SVG is XML-based and can be minified with this tool to reduce file size.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
