The working tool stays first. Open these sections only when you need more context.
Formatted XML is much easier to inspect and share
XML still appears in feeds, configs, sitemaps, exports, and integrations where readability matters during debugging or review.
This formatter helps you indent XML cleanly and spot invalid input faster before you move the result into another tool or workflow.
Helpful tips for a better result
- Format XML before comparing versions or reviewing nested structures.
- Use the parser feedback if the formatter cannot process the input.
- Pair it with the HTML preview tool when the XML contains embedded markup fragments.
Frequently asked questions
Does this validate the XML too?
It checks whether the XML can be parsed and reports an error when the structure is invalid.
Can I pretty-print nested XML here?
Yes. The formatter is designed to indent nested XML so the structure is easier to read.
Is the XML sent to a server?
No. Formatting happens locally in your browser for the normal workflow.
