How to pretty print XML in a shell?

I have command-line tool which outputs XML in a single line, totally unreadable. I would like something to pipe this into, to turn it into human readable XML with newlines and indentation.

So something like this:

$ output-dirty-xml
<outer><inner some="value">Hey there!</inner></outer>
$ output-dirty-xml | prettify-xml
<outer>
  <inner some="value">Hey there!</inner>
</outer>
