Uses the browser DOMParser. Namespaces, attributes, and self-closing tags are preserved. Minify removes whitespace between tags.

How it works

1

Paste or import XML

Paste XML text or import a .xml file up to 10 MB. Invalid syntax is flagged live under the input label.

2

Format or minify

Format adds indentation (2 or 4 spaces). Minify removes extra whitespace. Validate confirms the document parses without producing output.

3

Copy or download

Copy the result or download formatted.xml. Stats show element count, attributes, depth, and size savings after minify.

Why format XML?

Minified XML from APIs and logs is hard to read. XML Formatter is part of Easy24’s developer toolbox. Your input stays in this tab for normal use; Easy24 does not upload that content to process it. This tool has no daily free-plan cap; use it as often as you need. Typical flow: Paste XML or import a file, choose Format or Minify, set indent size, then copy or download. Validate checks syntax without changing output. Related tools and reverse conversions appear on the page when a follow-up step is common.

Why use this tool

  • Pretty-print with 2 or 4 space indent
  • Minify XML
  • Validate syntax
  • Live XML check and document stats
  • Import .xml files
  • Unlimited use with no daily cap

Questions

What does XML Formatter do?

It pretty-prints or minifies XML using the browser DOMParser and XMLSerializer with no server upload.

Will formatting change my data?

Only whitespace between tags changes. Element names, attributes, text content, and structure stay the same.

Does it support namespaces?

Standard XML with namespaces parses and formats. Exotic documents may need a dedicated XML tool.

What is the difference between Format and Minify?

Format adds readable indentation. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace to reduce file size.
