XML Formatter

Format and validate XML with proper indentation


1. What is XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language used to store and transport data. It's both human-readable and machine-readable, commonly used for configuration files, data exchange, and document storage.

2. How does it work?

Paste your XML content in the input field and click Format XML. The tool will validate the XML structure and format it with proper indentation for better readability.

Validation

This tool validates XML syntax and reports errors if the XML is malformed. It checks for proper tag matching, valid structure, and well-formed documents.

3. Examples

Simple XML document

<root><item>Value</item></root>

XML with attributes

<person id="1" name="John"><age>30</age></person>

Nested structure

<library><book><title>Example</title><author>John Doe</author></book></library>
