How to use XML Formatter
- Paste XML, SVG, sitemap content, or another XML-based snippet.
- Run the formatter and inspect nested elements, attributes, and closing tags.
- Copy the formatted output into your editor, ticket, or validation workflow.
Why use XML Formatter
XML can become difficult to read when it is exported as a single line or copied from a generated file. Formatting makes parent-child structure visible, which is essential when debugging feeds, sitemaps, SVG paths, and configuration documents.
The formatter is best used before validation or manual edits. It helps you see the document clearly, but malformed XML may still need a dedicated parser error or schema check before it is safe for production.
Best for XML Formatter
- Reading compact sitemap and feed XML.
- Inspecting SVG markup before editing.
- Cleaning XML snippets for documentation.
Practical notes
- XML is strict about closing tags and nesting.
- Check namespaces when working with feeds or schemas.
- Validate important files after formatting.
