Paste minified XML and format it. Validates structure and reports errors.
What is this tool?
XML from APIs, configs, or exports often arrives minified—one long line with no indentation. The XML Formatter pretty-prints it with logical structure: nested elements indent, attributes align. The result is easier to read and debug. Optionally minify for smaller file size. Validates structure and reports parse errors. Useful for SOAP, configs, sitemaps, and any XML-based format. All processing runs in your browser. Your data stays on your device.
Formatting parses the XML and reformats with consistent indentation. Invalid XML—unclosed tags, mismatched quotes—causes parse errors. The tool reports the issue so you can fix it. Minifying removes whitespace between tags; it doesn't change content or semantics. For configs and integration payloads, readable XML speeds debugging. For transmission, minified XML can reduce size. The tool supports both modes.
Use it when inspecting API responses that return XML. When debugging SOAP or legacy integrations. When cleaning up exported data before importing elsewhere. When you've received minified XML and need to understand its structure. No need for a heavyweight XML editor—paste, format, read. All processing is client-side. No server, no storage.
Large files may take a moment. The tool handles typical config and API response sizes. For schema validation or transformation, use dedicated XML tools; this one focuses on format and basic validation. Bookmark it for XML inspection and cleanup.
Essential for XML-based workflows.
