What this tool does

XML formatting adds consistent indentation and line breaks at element boundaries, making deeply nested structures easy to read. Minification does the opposite — stripping whitespace for compact storage or transmission.

How to use

  1. Paste your XML into the input area.
  2. Choose indentation: 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tab.
  3. Click Format / Beautify.
  4. Copy the formatted or minified output.

Your XML stays in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this validate my XML?
Yes. The tool uses the browser's native DOMParser to detect and report any well-formedness errors before formatting.
What XML standards are supported?
Any well-formed XML 1.0 document — including SVG, XHTML, RSS, Atom, SOAP envelopes, and custom data formats.
