XML Formatter
Beautify XML structures with clean nested indentation. Easily organize, validate, and inspect tag hierarchies in seconds.
The Importance of Well-Formatted XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is widely used in enterprise integrations, Android application layout files, XML sitemaps, and SOAP API messaging. Since XML tags can be deeply nested, raw XML structures can be difficult to inspect without proper indentation.
Our client-side formatter aligns all nodes, tag declarations, self-closing structures, and inline attributes. Any syntax compilation errors are intercepted and highlighted directly on your device, ensuring maximum confidentiality for corporate payloads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is XML structure validated during formatting?
Yes. The tool uses the browser's native DOMParser to parse the input XML. If there are syntax issues (e.g. unclosed tags or structural mismatches), it reports the error directly.
Does the XML formatter support comments and header tags?
Yes. It preserves XML declarations (e.g., <?xml version="1.0"?>) and comments, placing them with correct indentation.
Can I download the formatted XML output?
Yes. Use the download button in the output header to save the formatted result as a '.xml' file.
