About this tool

Config files, sitemaps, SOAP responses — XML is everywhere and rarely pretty. This formatter indents tags consistently, preserves text content, and when your XML is broken it says so instead of pretending.

FAQ

Preserved as-is.
Minify use?
Smaller payloads for transport — keep the pretty copy for humans.

JSON instead?
Use the JSON formatter tool.
