Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded or stored.

Frequently asked questions
Does formatting change the XML data?
Only whitespace between elements changes. Inside elements with mixed content, whitespace can matter, so check those cases.
Is the XML Formatter free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your input is never uploaded or stored.
Will formatting change how my code behaves?
Formatting only changes whitespace and layout. Minifying removes comments and whitespace and may shorten names, so keep the original source in version control.
