Tool interface
What this tool does
XML Formatter helps you beautify XML directly in the browser so feeds, config files, and integration payloads are easier to scan, debug, and share with other people on your team.
Related next steps include XML Validator, XML to JSON Converter, and the Validate XML before upload page if you want to keep working on the same task from a different angle.
When to use it
Use it when the source is valid enough to keep working with but too dense to read comfortably. Formatting is useful for copied xML snippets, review work, debugging, and documentation where structure matters.
If the next step is a nearby formatting or validation task, continue with XML Validator. For the broader workflow around this content type, open the Validate XML before upload page.
How to use it

- Paste the source input or load the example if you want to see the expected format first.
- Review the output, preview, or validation result carefully.
- Copy, download, or pass the result into the next workflow only after you confirm it matches what you need.
