About this tool
Paste minified or messy XML and get it back with each tag on its own line and indentation that shows the nesting. Opening tags push the next level in, closing tags pull it back, and text content sits at its own depth. It never changes your tag names or values, it only makes the structure visible.
Frequently asked questions
Does it change my data?
No. It only adds line breaks and indentation; tags, attributes, and text stay exactly as pasted.
Does it work on XML without a root element?
It formats whatever tags you paste, though well-formed XML with one root is the cleanest input.
