This command minifies the current XML document by removing unnecessary whitespace while preserving the document's structure and content.
The minification can be triggered via the Source > Minify XML menu.
The minification process:
- Removes all indentation and line breaks between elements
- Removes whitespace between the XML declaration and the root element
- Normalizes whitespace sequences inside text content to a single space
- Preserves whitespace in elements with
xml:space="preserve"attribute - Preserves content in CDATA sections
- Reduces multiple spaces between attributes to a single space
This is useful for reducing file size before transmitting or storing XML documents.
