XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language much like HTML, but designed to store and transport data. It is self-descriptive and highly extensible, making it a staple in enterprise data integrations and older web services.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML Formatter?
An XML formatter takes compressed or unformatted XML and applies proper line breaks and indentation (usually 2 or 4 spaces) based on the nested tag hierarchy.
Does this tool validate XML?
Yes, if your XML lacks closing tags or has invalid syntax, the tool will notify you of the parsing error.
Is this tool secure for confidential XML?
Absolutely. The formatting is executed directly in your browser. We never upload your data to our servers.
