Input XML
Output
Format XML is a free online XML formatter and beautifier. Paste any raw or minified XML and get it back with proper indentation, making it easy to read and debug. Also minifies XML by removing all whitespace.
The tool uses the browser's built-in DOMParser to parse the XML. If parsing succeeds, it recursively walks the DOM tree and rebuilds the XML string with 2-space indentation. Minification strips all text nodes that are only whitespace.

Format
