Minify < X.ML >

Blazing fast online XML minification / compression / optimization / uglification!

Minify XML reduces the size of your XML documents to a minimum. Based on the popular NPM package minify-xml the algorithms of our engine are using powerful regular expressions which will optimize your XML file to the smallest possible size in a matter of seconds. In contrast to many other XML minifiers online, Minify-X.ML will compress not only whitespace between tags, but also reduce the tag size to a minimum, do namespace optimizations and more.

Remove comments like
```

```
Remove whitespace between tags like
```
<anyTag />   <anyOtherTag />
```

Collapse whitespace in tags like

<anyTag   attributeA   =   "..."   attributeB    =   "..."   />`

Collapse empty elements like
```
<anyTag anyAttribute = "..."></anyTag>
```
Removes leading and tailing whitespace in elements containing text only or a mixture of text and other elements like
```
<anyTag>  Hello  <anyOtherTag/>  World  </anyTag>
```
Collapse whitespace in elements containing text or a mixture of text and other elements (useful for (X)HTML) like
```
<anyTag>Hello  World</anyTag>
```
Collapse and remove whitespace in the xml prolog
```
<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
```
Collapse and remove whitespace in the xml document type declaration
```
<!DOCTYPE   DocType   >
```
Removes any namespaces from tags, which are not used anywhere in the document, like
```
<tag xmlns:unused="any_uri" />
```
. Notice the word *anywhere* here, the minifier not does consider the structure of the XML document, thus namespaces which might be only used in a certain sub-tree of elements might not be removed, even though they are not used in that sub-tree
Removes any default namespace declaration like
```
<tag xmlns="any_uri"/>
```
in case there is no tag without a namespace in the whole document
Shortens namespaces, like
```
<tag xmlns:namespace="any_namespace">
```
to a minimal length, e.g.
```
<tag xmlns:n="any_namespace">
```
. First an attempt is made to shorten the existing namespace to one letter only (e.g. "namespace" is shortened to "n"), in case that letter is already taken, the shortest possible other namespace is used
Ignores any content inside of XML CData tags
```
<![CDATA[ any content ]]>
```
