XML is a great format for storing data, but an improperly-formatted XML file (e.g. whole file on one line, unusual breaking, improper line wrap, etc) can be just as difficult to read as a binary blob. In order to make “blob” XML readable, here are some tools you can use to format XML so it’s readable.<\/p>\n
<element>\r\n value\r\n<\/element><\/pre>\nWhich can actually decrease readability, especially if you have lots of short elements.<\/li>\n
<tag1>\r\n<tag2>\r\n<tag3>xyz<\/tag3>\r\n<\/tag2>\r\n<\/tag1><\/pre>\nThis is not much good since indents are generally required in human readable XML.<\/li>\n
<tag1>\r\n <tag2>\r\n <tag3>xyz<\/tag3>\r\n <\/tag2>\r\n<\/tag1><\/pre>\nWhich is the expected result. For more consistency, you might want to change (in BeautyXML.class.php)<\/p>\n
var $how_to_ident = "\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 "; \/\/ you can user also \\t or more\/less spaces<\/pre>\nto<\/p>\n
var $how_to_ident = "\\t"; \/\/ you can user also \\t or more\/less spaces<\/pre>\nto use tabs instead of spaces to save file space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
