About the XML Formatter

XML documents from SOAP services, RSS feeds, sitemaps and configuration files often arrive on a single line or with inconsistent indentation. This formatter re-indents the markup based on element nesting so the document's structure becomes immediately visible.

Formatting runs entirely in your browser. The result keeps your content intact while making it readable, ready to paste into documentation, a request, or a code review.
