XML Formatter Online
Paste any well-formed XML - an API response, a config file, an SVG, an RSS feed - and the tool pretty-prints it with consistent indentation. Formatting runs entirely in your browser using the built-in DOMParser; nothing is uploaded to any server.
The formatter handles XML declarations, self-closing empty elements (rendered as <tag />), and single-text-child elements kept on one line so the output stays readable. Multi-level nested structures are indented two spaces per level.
For related transforms, use the developer tools hub - the JSON formatter, YAML-to-JSON converter, and HTML entity encoder follow the same no-upload pattern.
