About the XML Formatter

XML from SOAP APIs, SAP PI/PO messages, and configuration files arrives minified and unreadable. A formatter adds proper indentation, making the element hierarchy visible at a glance.

Paste any XML document to format it with clean indentation. Handles namespaces, CDATA sections, comments, and deeply nested structures. Your XML never leaves the browser — important for proprietary enterprise data.

How to use

  1. Paste your XML document.
  2. The formatted output appears with proper indentation.
  3. Review the structure for debugging or documentation.
  4. Copy the result for use in your config or ticket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this validate XML? ▾

Yes — if the XML is malformed, the formatter shows the error position. Valid XML is formatted with clean indentation.

Can it handle SOAP envelopes? ▾

Yes — SOAP XML with namespaces, CDATA, and deeply nested elements all format correctly.

Can this formatter handle large XML files? ▾

Yes — parsing and formatting run locally in your browser, so multi-megabyte SOAP responses and SAML documents format without upload timeouts. Processing speed depends on your machine, not a server.

Does it validate XML or just pretty-print? ▾

Both — malformed XML (unclosed tags, bad entities) is reported with the parser error position before any formatting is applied.

Is my XML uploaded anywhere? ▾

No. Formatting and validation are 100% client-side. SAML assertions and SOAP payloads stay in your browser.
