About the XML formatter

Format or minify XML documents and catch malformed markup before using the result elsewhere.

What it does

  • Indents valid XML to expose its element hierarchy.
  • Minifies XML while preserving document content.
  • Reports XML parsing errors with location details when the browser provides them.
  • Supports copying and downloading the result.

How to use it

  1. Paste an XML document into the input editor.
  2. Choose Format or Minify.
  3. Review the validation state and output before reusing the document.

Notes

This is a syntax formatter and validator. It does not validate against XSD schemas.

Privacy

XML parsing and formatting happen locally in your browser. The document is not uploaded for processing.
