XML Formatter (Beautify & Validate XML/SVG/RSS)
Format XML documents, RSS feeds, SOAP messages, and SVG files with clean indentation.
TL;DR: XML Formatter parses, indents, and validates XML documents, RSS feeds, and vector SVG files.
What Is an XML Formatter and How Does It Format XML?
An XML Formatter is a markup formatting tool that validates XML tree hierarchy and indents nested tags, attributes, CDATA blocks, and comments according to W3C XML 1.0 specifications. It ensures closing tag symmetry, standardizes attribute quotes, and transforms minified XML payloads into human-readable documents.
How to Use the XML Formatter
Our XML Formatter is engineered for rapid developer workflow, high-performance in-browser execution, and complete code privacy.
- Paste your raw XML string, RSS feed, SOAP envelope, or SVG code.
- Select your indentation style (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or Tab).
- Click 'Format XML' to validate syntax and apply tree indentation.
- Review any highlighted XML well-formedness errors if present.
- Copy formatted XML or download as an `.xml` / `.svg` file.
Key Capabilities & Developer Best Practices
- Fast In-Browser Processing: Zero server latency; code formatting, validation, and transformations execute in real time.
- Complete Data Confidentiality: Work with sensitive API keys, production configs, and database records safely on your local device.
- Standards-Compliant Output: Generates clean, RFC-compliant code ready for production deployment and clean Git diffs.
100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee
All parsing, formatting, validation, cryptographic hashing, and code transformations occur 100% locally inside your web browser. Your source code, database queries, and private payloads are never uploaded to any remote server.
Frequently Asked Questions
- An XML formatter is a developer utility that parses Extensible Markup Language (XML) strings and outputs them with clean hierarchical indentation, proper line breaks, and validated tag pairing.
- Paste your unformatted XML into NexLove's XML Formatter and click 'Format XML'. The tool automatically validates tag symmetry and indents all child nodes.
- Yes. SVG is an XML-based vector graphics format; this tool will cleanly format SVG path tags, coordinates, and layer hierarchies.
- XML strictly requires that every opening tag have a matching closing tag (e.g. `...` or ``), attribute values be quoted, and tags be nested properly without overlapping.
- Yes. `` blocks are preserved intact with all internal text characters unescaped.
- Yes. The formatter handles complex SOAP XML envelopes and RSS/Atom syndication feeds effortlessly.
- No. XML parsing and formatting run 100% client-side in your local browser.
- You can choose to keep original attribute order or standardize attributes alphabetically for consistent Git diff comparisons.
