Why Use an XML Formatter?
Raw API responses, RSS feeds, SOAP payloads and config files often arrive as a single unreadable line. Formatting reveals structure instantly, making it easy to debug, edit, and share.
Real-time Validation
The formatter catches malformed XML — unclosed tags, bad attributes, illegal characters — and highlights exactly where the problem is. No more guessing.
XPath Queries
Jump straight to the data you need. Type //item/price to extract every price node, or count(//*) to count all elements in one shot.
Tree View
Visualise nested hierarchies as a collapsible tree. Spot deep nesting, unexpected children, or attribute counts at a glance — no scrolling walls of text.
Minify for Production
Strip whitespace and comments before committing XML to source or sending over the wire. Reduces payload size and removes accidental debug comments.
100% Private
Everything runs in your browser. Your XML — API keys, internal configs, customer data — never touches any server. Close the tab and it's gone.
One-Click Download
Download the formatted .xml file directly. Useful when the output is large and you need to open it in a dedicated editor or diff tool.
