Of course, XML is really +designed for computers to read - not people - but there are times when mere +mortals do need to read and edit XML by hand. For example, if your application +stores its configuration in XML, or you need to dump some XML to STDOUT for +debugging purposes. + +Syntax highlighting helps, but to really make sense of some XML, proper +indentation can be vital. Hence XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint - it can be applied to +an XML::LibXML DOM tree to reformat it into a more readable result. + +Pretty-printing XML is not as CPU-efficient as dumping it out sloppily, so +unless you're pretty sure that a human is going to need to make sense of your +XML, you should probably not use this module. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-LibXML-PrettyPrint/ |
