XML Formatter

Paste XML below to indent and beautify it. The tool also validates your markup and reports parse errors, and can minify XML back to a single line.

Private by default: processing stays on your device
YOUR XML

Paste or type XML to format

Clean XML, instantly.

Validates as you type; formats on demand for large inputs.

Formatted output

Good to know

Validation runs in your browser before formatting; Minify strips whitespace between nodes.

Example: single-line XML → formatted

Input

<user><name>Ada</name><roles><role>admin</role></roles></user>

Output

<user>
  <name>Ada</name>
  <roles>
    <role>admin</role>
  </roles>
</user>

Frequently asked questions

Does the formatter validate my XML?

Yes. Your input is parsed with the browser's built-in XML parser, and any well-formedness error is reported before formatting.

Can it minify XML too?

Yes, the Minify button strips whitespace between tags to produce compact single-line XML.

Is my XML sent to a server?

No, parsing and formatting run entirely in your browser.
