About XML Formatter

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language used to store and transport structured data across systems. It is widely used in web services (SOAP), configuration files, data feeds (RSS/Atom), and enterprise integrations. Minified XML strips all formatting, making it nearly impossible to read or debug.

Our XML Formatter parses your XML, validates its structure, and outputs it with clean, consistent indentation. All processing runs entirely in your browser — your data is never sent to any server. Use it to debug API responses, inspect config files, or clean up generated XML output.
