Format compact, minified, or unindented XML documents with clean hierarchy. Our client-side XML Formatter preserves XML declarations, namespaces, comment blocks, and raw <![CDATA[...]]> sections while highlighting any structural syntax errors.

  • CDATA & Comment Preservation: Keeps comments and CDATA payloads strictly intact without escaping.
  • Syntax Validation: Detects unclosed tags, mismatching tags, and malformed XML.
  • 100% Client-Side Privacy: Your XML feeds, SOAP payloads, and configuration files never leave your computer.
  • Mobile-First Design: Switch between Input and Output tabs on smartphones and tablets.

  1. Paste XML: Insert your raw or minified XML into the input editor.
  2. Beautify: Click the Beautify button to validate and format tags.
