You are can use any editor, including sed, on an XML document. There is no requirement to use a specific editor.
In general white space does not matter in an XML document so long as it is well-formed and valid. Basically, a document is well-formed if it follows the syntax rules of the XML specification and the elements within it are correctly nested and part of a unique root.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
simplexml_load_file
SIMPLEXML_LOAD_FILE(3) 1 SIMPLEXML_LOAD_FILE(3)
simplexml_load_file - Interprets an XML file into an object
SYNOPSIS
SimpleXMLElement simplexml_load_file (string $filename, [string $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement"], [int $options], [string $ns = ""],
[bool $is_prefix = false])
DESCRIPTION
Convert the well-formed XML document in the given file to an object.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the XML file
Note
Libxml 2 unescapes the URI, so if you want to pass e.g. b&c as the URI parameter a, you have to call sim-
plexml_load_file(rawurlencode('http://example.com/?a=' . urlencode('b&c'))). Since PHP 5.1.0 you don't need to do this
because PHP will do it for you.
o $class_name
- You may use this optional parameter so that simplexml_load_file(3) will return an object of the specified class. That class
should extend the SimpleXMLElement class.
o $options
- Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the $options parameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.
o $ns
- Namespace prefix or URI.
o $is_prefix
- TRUE if $ns is a prefix, FALSE if it's a URI; defaults to FALSE.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an object of class SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data held within the XML document, or FALSE on failure.
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error found in the XML data.
Tip
Use libxml_use_internal_errors(3) to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors(3) to iterate over them afterwards.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Interpret an XML document
<?php
// The file test.xml contains an XML document with a root element
// and at least an element /[root]/title.
if (file_exists('test.xml')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
print_r($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
This script will display, on success:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[title] => Example Title
...
)
At this point, you can go about using $xml->title and any other elements.
