XML Formatter

An XML formatter helps you turn hard-to-read XML into clean, indented markup that is easier to inspect and debug. Paste minified, compressed, or messy XML and the tool rewrites it into a more readable structure.

Why formatting matters

XML is still common in feeds, configuration files, integrations, and older APIs. When everything appears on one line or uses inconsistent indentation, it becomes much harder to verify nesting, attributes, and closing tags. A formatter makes structural problems easier to spot.

What the tool checks

Alongside indentation, the formatter also validates the XML structure and can surface useful error messages if the document is invalid. That makes it helpful both for cleanup and for troubleshooting parsing issues.

Because the formatting runs locally in the browser, you can inspect and normalize XML content without sending private data to another service.
