What is XML Formatter & Beautifier?

An XML formatter takes minified or messy XML documents and reformats them with proper indentation and line breaks, making the structure clear and readable. XML minification does the reverse — removing whitespace to reduce file size. Both are essential for working with XML-based APIs, config files, and data feeds.

How to Use

  1. Paste your XML document in the input area
  2. Click Format to beautify with indentation or Minify to compress
  3. The result appears instantly
  4. Download the output as an .xml file

Examples

Format XML

Input<root><item id="1"><name>Test</name></item></root>
Output<root> <item id="1"> <name>Test</name> </item> </root>

Minify XML

Input<root> <item> <name>Test</name> </item> </root>
Output<root><item><name>Test</name></item></root>

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it validate XML?

No. This tool reformats XML text but does not validate it against a schema or DTD. Malformed XML (unclosed tags, etc.) may produce unexpected results.

Does it preserve XML comments?

Formatting preserves comments. Minification removes comments to reduce size.

What's the indentation style?

Formatted output uses 2-space indentation, which is the most common standard for XML documents.
