What is XML Formatter?

XML Formatter is a tool for making XML easier to read or compressing it by removing extra whitespace and line breaks. It is useful for API responses, configuration files, and XML data review.

Pasting XML shows the formatted result right away.

How to Use

  1. Enter your XML string.
  2. Choose an indentation style.
  3. Change the space count if needed.
  4. Review the formatted XML in the result area.

If the XML is invalid, the tool shows an error message.

Main Settings

Indent

Choose spaces or tabs for readability. Choose None when you want compact XML in one line.

Indent Spaces

You can change the space width. Wider spacing makes deeply nested XML easier to follow.

Use Cases

  • Making API XML responses easier to inspect
  • Reviewing the structure of XML configuration data
  • Preparing formatted XML for sharing or review
  • Compressing XML into a single line when needed
