XML Formatter

Pretty-print XML with your choice of indentation, or minify it.

What is the XML Formatter?

XML is used in SOAP APIs, RSS feeds, e-invoicing, Office files and many configuration formats.

How does it work?

The XML is parsed by the browser’s XML parser and the document tree is re-serialised with indentation. Elements with only short text stay on one line.

Example

<a><b>t</b></a> becomes three indented lines.
