XML Formatter
/xml-formatterPretty-print minified XML with proper indentation and line breaks. Perfect for inspecting API responses.
Minified XML from APIs and config files is hard to read, and hand-indenting it is error-prone. This formatter pretty-prints XML with consistent indentation and line breaks, and it flags malformed documents. It is the fastest way to make a dense XML response readable. Formatting happens locally with no uploads.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about xml formatter.
Does this validate XML?
Not fully. The formatter structures the document hierarchically by indentation. Malformed XML may still render with odd indentation instead of an error.
Is my XML uploaded?
No. All formatting happens locally in your browser, so sensitive configuration files and data never leave your device.
Which indentation options exist?
Three choices: 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs, applied to every nesting level of the document for consistent, readable output.
Why did I get an Invalid XML error?
The formatter only raises this when the result would be empty, typically for blank or comment-only input. Other malformed input simply indents oddly.
Does it minify XML?
No. This tool only pretty-prints. There is no minify mode here, so compact single-line output is not available from this page.
How are self-closing tags handled?
Tags ending in /> are written at their current depth without increasing the indentation level, matching expected formatting.
