Input XML

What is an XML Beautifier?

An XML beautifier is an online tool that transforms unformatted or minified XML into beautifully structured, properly indented code with consistent formatting and visual hierarchy. Whether you're a developer working with SOAP APIs, an XML author maintaining documentation, or a backend engineer reviewing configuration files, our XML beautifier applies professional formatting standards to make your XML clean, readable, and maintainable.

This tool automatically indents XML elements with customizable spacing (2 spaces, 4 spaces, tabs), adds line breaks for visual hierarchy, formats attributes consistently, removes unnecessary whitespace, and applies syntax highlighting. Simply paste your unformatted XML and instantly receive a beautifully structured document that follows XML formatting best practices.

Why Use an XML Beautifier?

Beautiful, well-formatted XML is essential for professional development and maintenance. Developers need beautified XML to maintain consistent code style across projects, improve XML readability for code reviews, make debugging faster with clear structure, prepare XML for version control with meaningful diffs, and ensure professional presentation in documentation. Poorly formatted XML reflects badly on code quality and makes maintenance difficult.

Enterprise developers use XML beautifiers to standardize XML formatting across teams and projects, prepare SOAP messages for production deployment, format XML configuration files consistently, improve XML maintainability in long-term projects, and ensure clean XML in customer-facing systems. Technical writers benefit from creating professional XML examples in documentation, maintaining consistent formatting in XML tutorials, and presenting clean XML in API references.

The tool enforces consistent formatting standards, improves code professionalism and maintainability, and makes XML more accessible to team members. It's particularly valuable when working with XML from multiple sources, preparing XML for production systems, maintaining enterprise XML configurations, or ensuring XML code quality meets organizational standards.
