XML Formatter

Our XML Formatter provides a complete set of online XML processing tools for developers, API debugging, data analysis, and log inspection. Key features include:

• XML Formatting (Beautify XML): Convert minified or unstructured XML into a readable format with proper indentation and line breaks.
• XML Minification (Minify XML): Remove unnecessary whitespace, indentation, and line breaks to reduce file size for storage and transmission.
• Partial XML Formatting: Automatically detect XML fragments within text or logs and format only the valid XML content.
• Mixed Content Parsing: Extract and process XML structures embedded in API responses, logs, or plain text.
• Attribute Formatting: Preserve and normalize XML attribute formatting for improved consistency and readability.

This tool supports both XML 1.0 and XML 1.1 standards and is compatible with most modern XML use cases. Supported features include:

• XML Namespaces
• XML Attributes
• CDATA Sections
• XML Comments
• XML Declarations

The tool can also detect and process valid XML fragments embedded within mixed content such as API responses, configuration files, and log data.

No. XML formatting only modifies indentation, line breaks, and whitespace. It does not change the XML structure, element order, attribute values, or the meaning of the data.

Yes. XML declarations such as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> are fully supported. The formatter automatically detects the declaration and preserves it during both formatting and minification operations.

Yes. XML minification does not alter the document structure. Any valid minified XML can be formatted again at any time to restore a readable layout.

Yes. When possible, the tool attempts to recover and format valid XML fragments from malformed, incomplete, or partially corrupted input, helping developers identify and troubleshoot XML-related issues more efficiently.

Yes. The tool can automatically identify XML fragments embedded in logs, API responses, configuration files, or other text content and format the valid XML portions separately.

Yes. All XML parsing, formatting, and minification are performed entirely within your browser (client-side processing). Your data is never uploaded, stored, logged, or shared with any server, ensuring maximum privacy and security.
