What this tool does

XML Formatter indents XML into a clearer structure so you can review feeds, config, markup, or service responses.

When to use it

Use it when XML is valid enough to parse but too cramped to understand at a glance.

How it works

Paste XML, format it with consistent nesting, and copy the cleaned version for review or handoff.

Useful for

  • Format XML API responses or SOAP payloads.
  • Inspect sitemap, feed, and config files.
  • Make nested markup easier to compare in a review.

Questions before the button mashing

Will XML Formatter remove tags?

No. Formatting should preserve tags and content while making the structure easier to read.

Does it validate every XML rule?

It is meant for quick formatting and basic parsing feedback, not as a full schema validator.
