XML Formatter rewrites compact or messy XML with proper indentation and line breaks, turning a single block of markup into a clean, readable structure. It is the fast way to make a feed, config, or export legible before you read or edit it.
How it works
Paste your XML and the formatter parses it in your browser and returns a neatly indented version you can copy. The content stays the same; only the spacing changes. Nothing is uploaded.
When to use XML Formatter
Making a minified XML feed readable
Tidying a config before you edit it
Reformatting an export pasted from a tool
Cleaning up machine-generated markup
FAQ
Can it handle deeply nested markup?
Yes. Nested elements are indented automatically.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Formatting happens in your browser and the data never leaves your device.
