Canonical XML is a form of XML document that accounts for the permissible changes. If two documents have the same canonical form, then the two documents are logically equivalent within the given application context. Canonical XML documents are extremely important in digital signature, data digest and other document integrity protection techniques. Senders and receivers must agree to a common form of XML documents in order to generate the same hash values and signitures. Both XML Signature and XML Encryption depend on Canonical form of XML This tool focuses primarily on SOAP messages. It can convert a well-formed XML document into its canonical form specified by Canonical XML Version 1.0.
