String (single line)

How do you convert XML to a single-line string?

An XML to string converter collapses multi-line XML into one compact line. Snabbit removes comments and the whitespace between tags, then squeezes runs of blanks into single spaces, producing a minified string that is easy to embed in code or send over the wire. It runs privately in your browser, so your markup is never uploaded.

How to use the XML to String

1 Paste your formatted, multi-line XML.
2 The single-line, minified string appears instantly.
3 Whitespace between tags is removed; text content is kept.
4 Copy the compact string.

What you can use it for

Embedding XML inside a source-code string.
Minifying XML to shrink a payload.
Putting an XML snippet on one line for a log or config.
Normalising hand-formatted XML before sending it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it change the text inside elements?

No. Only the whitespace between tags is removed. The characters inside an element are preserved, so the XML still means the same thing.

Is this the same as minifying XML?

In practice yes — it removes the indentation and line breaks used for readability and returns a single compact line, which is what minification does for XML.

Why turn XML into one line?

A single-line string is easy to paste into a code literal, a log entry or a request body where line breaks would be awkward.
