xmllint does have a --format option:

--format
       Reformat and reindent the output. The XMLLINT_INDENT environment
       variable controls the indentation. The default value is two spaces
       " ").

I just found an answer in wiki of vim .Hope this may be useful. Open vimrc file -> au FileType xml exe ":silent %!xmllint --format --recover - 2>/dev/null" ... ! Insert this in autocmd section. Refer vim.wikia.com/wiki/Format_your_xml_document_using_xmllint
