Prettify and clean up raw or minified XML code for better readability.
Make Your XML Data Human-Readable
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is often generated in a ‘minified’ or single-line format to save space in data transfers. However, this makes it nearly impossible for humans to read or debug. Our XML Formatter (also known as an XML Prettifier) automatically organizes your code with consistent indentation and proper line breaks. By revealing the hierarchical structure of your tags and data, it makes it easy to spot errors, analyze data paths, and understand the relationship between different elements. It’s an essential utility for developers working with legacy systems, RSS feeds, or sitemaps.
How to Use
- Paste your raw XML code into the input window.
- Click the ‘Beautify XML’ button.
- Choose your indentation level (e.g., 2 or 4 spaces).
- Review the formatted code and copy it for your project.
