How to Use the XML Formatter

  1. Paste your raw XML into the input area, or click Import File to load an .xml file directly from your computer.
  2. The formatter validates your input as you type — errors appear in the status bar with a description and line number.
  3. Click Format to display beautifully indented, syntax-highlighted XML in the output panel.
  4. Click Minify to compress the XML into a single line for production use.
  5. Use Copy to copy the current output to your clipboard.
  6. Use Save to download the formatted or minified output as an .xml file.
  7. Use Clear to reset the editor. Your last input is auto-saved in your browser so it survives a page reload.

About This Tool

This XML formatter works as an XML validator, XML beautifier, XML linter, and XML minifier. Paste any raw or malformed XML to detect syntax errors with precise line numbers, then format it with clean indentation and syntax highlighting — or compress it to a single line for production use.

Useful for working with RSS feeds, SOAP APIs, SVG files, configuration files (Maven, Spring, Android manifests), and any XML data. Import .xml files directly and export formatted or minified output. Your last input is auto-saved in the browser.
