XML Formatter
Free online XML formatter tool, beautify and minify
Why Format XML?
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is used in configuration files, API responses, data exchange, and document formats. Formatted XML with proper indentation makes the hierarchy and nesting of elements immediately clear, which is essential for debugging and editing.
How to Format or Minify XML
Paste your XML content in the input area. Click Format XML to add indentation and line breaks. Click Minify XML to remove all whitespace between tags. The tool preserves text content and attribute values during both operations.
▶Does formatting change the XML content?
No. Formatting only changes whitespace between tags. Text content within elements and attribute values remain unchanged.
▶Can I format SVG files?
Yes, SVG is an XML-based format. The XML formatter works with SVG files, XHTML, SOAP responses, RSS feeds, and any well-formed XML.
▶What happens with malformed XML?
The formatter requires well-formed XML (properly matched tags, valid attributes). If the XML has errors, the tool will indicate the issue.
