{ } How to use
- Paste your XML.
- Select Process to indent it, two spaces per level.
{ } How it works
XML Formatter works on the text you provide. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Input
- XML input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
Output
XML text — copy or download it from the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Make a minified or single-line XML document readable.
- Re-indent a file that was edited by hand into an inconsistent shape.
- Inspect the structure of a SOAP or config document.
{ } Limitations
- Whitespace between tags is collapsed before re-indenting, so any whitespace that was significant — in mixed content, or inside an element that holds formatted text — is lost. Use the minifier or leave such documents alone.
- Malformed XML is reported with a line and column instead of being formatted.
- This is a text re-indenter, not a serialiser: it does not normalise attribute order, quote style or self-closing tags.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Will it change my attribute values?
No. Only the whitespace between tags is touched; attributes and text content are copied through as they are.
