What is the XML Formatter?

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is often compressed or minified into a single line to save bandwidth. This makes it impossible for developers to read or debug. Our XML Formatter cleans up the messy code, inserting line breaks and proper indentation.

Features

  • Proper Indentation: Automatically indents nested tags correctly (supports spaces and tabs).
  • Syntax Validation: Detects and highlights syntax errors, unclosed tags, or malformed attributes in real-time.
  • Preserves Content: Accurately preserves CDATA sections, XML declarations, and comments.
  • Fast & Local: Processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to a server.

Privacy Note

Your data is fully secure. Since all XML formatting is performed via client-side JavaScript, your data never leaves your device.
