Hi Anil,
You can do the conversion with XSLT. Here's the code:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <xsl:output encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" method="xml" version="1.0"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
(This copies the complete XML, and created a formatted output - indent="yes". All other content remains untouched.)
