XML Formatter
Format and beautify XML so deeply nested elements become readable with consistent indentation. Minified or single-line XML from SOAP responses, RSS feeds, SVG files and config exports is nearly impossible to scan by eye, and this tool fixes that instantly. It indents each level, keeps attributes on their opening tags, preserves text content, and leaves self-closing tags intact. It works purely on the text structure, so it does not rewrite or strip your data, it just makes it legible. Paste your XML, click format, and copy the tidy result. All formatting happens in your browser, so proprietary payloads and internal service responses are never uploaded or stored anywhere.
How to use XML Formatter
- Paste messy or minified XML.
- Click format to pretty-print it.
- Copy the indented XML.
