XML Formatter Help, Examples, and FAQ

Usage Guide

Use the XML formatter to clean up sitemaps, API responses, RSS/Atom feeds, Office documents, and configuration files. Paste XML into the input area, then format it into an indented tree or minify it into a single comment-free line. A structure check runs alongside and reports unclosed or mismatched tags, which makes it easy to locate concatenation bugs, truncated responses, and hand-edited typos. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Examples

  • Format a minified sitemap or API response and inspect the hierarchy and attributes of each node.
  • When an XML parser reports an error, use the structure check to find the unclosed tag first, then verify namespace prefixes.
  • Minify static configs before publishing and switch back to the formatted view when debugging.

FAQ

  • Does formatting change content? No. Only whitespace and line breaks change; elements, attributes, and text stay untouched.
  • Is the structure check a full XML validation? No. It checks tag closure and pairing, not DTD, Schema, or namespace rules.
  • Is my input uploaded? No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
