XML Formatter & Validator
Turn a one-line XML file into an indented tree, or the reverse. The browser’s XML parser checks well-formedness and reports the first error it finds.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input and files are not uploaded to any server.
How to use
- Paste XML.
- Choose Format or Minify and the indentation.
- Copy or download the result.
Examples
Sitemap
Check a sitemap.xml copied from a server and make it readable.
When formatting XML helps
Minified XML from an API response, a sitemap or a config file is hard to read and even harder to compare. Formatting it with consistent indentation makes the nesting visible, so a missing closing tag or a misplaced element stands out at once.
Minifying does the reverse and removes the whitespace between tags, which is useful for embedding XML in a request body or shrinking a file you ship. If your document depends on whitespace inside text elements, compare the minified output with the original before you use it.

Frequently asked questions
Does it validate against a schema (XSD)?
No. It checks that the XML is well-formed (tags are balanced, attributes quoted, one root element). Schema validation needs the schema file and a dedicated validator.
Are comments and CDATA kept?
Yes, both are preserved in format and minify mode.
