XML Formatter

Validate, format or compact XML using the browser XML parser.

About XML Formatter

Paste XML and choose Format for indented output or Minify for a compact serialisation. Malformed documents return a parser error.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste one complete XML document.
  2. Choose Format for indentation or Minify for compact serialisation.
  3. Fix any parser error before copying the output.

Examples and practical guidance

Format a nested API response to spot an unclosed element before importing it into another system.

Useful tips and common mistakes

The formatter preserves XML structure but browser serialisation can normalise quoting or namespace presentation. Keep a source copy for signed XML.

Detailed information

Validate, format or compact XML using the browser XML parser. It is designed for focused, everyday work on desktop and mobile. Processing stays in the browser, so Devyar does not receive the content you enter into the tool.

Results should still be reviewed in the context where they will be used. Keep original source material when converting files or transforming code.

Frequently asked questions

Is the XML Formatter free to use?

Yes. You can use this Devyar tool without creating an account.

Does Devyar receive the data I enter?

No. The tool runs in your web browser and does not submit your input or result to Devyar. Standard page analytics, when configured, record only usage events and never the processed value.

What should I check before using the XML Formatter result?

The formatter preserves XML structure but browser serialisation can normalise quoting or namespace presentation. Keep a source copy for signed XML. Review the final output in the application or workflow where you plan to use it.
