XML Formatter

Paste your XML below — we'll format, minify, and syntax-check it for you instantly.

0 Invalid or not checked
Formatted output

                
0 Indent 2 spaces
Step 1
Paste XML into the left editor, or use Paste / Load file to bring in content.
Step 2
Choose Format (2 or 4 spaces) to beautify, or Minify for a single-line result. Errors appear in the banner above.
Step 3
Review the right panel, then use Copy result or Download to take the output with you.

Tip: declarations, CDATA, processing instructions, and attributes are supported. After paste we try 2-space formatting when the XML is valid.

When is XML formatting useful?
When API responses, RSS feeds, configs, or logs are one long line, or you need to sanity-check structure before sending it elsewhere, pretty-printing makes review much easier.
What is the difference between format and minify?
Formatting adds line breaks and indentation for humans. Minify removes extra whitespace to shrink the payload while keeping the same meaning.
Why did attribute order change after beautify?
The spec does not define attribute order. The browser parser may emit a different order; that does not change what the XML means.
Can I paste normal HTML as XML?
Most HTML is not strict XML (for example unclosed tags). Use well-formed XML or XHTML, or fix the markup before pasting.
Is my data uploaded to your servers?
No. Everything runs in your browser; we do not receive what you paste.
