Guide & examples

About XML formatter

Validate XML and format it with consistent indentation while keeping element order and text values.

When to use it

Read a small XML API response or configuration without changing numeric text.

XML formatter example
<order id="1">
  <status>ready</status>
</order>

How to use it

  1. Paste an XML document.
  2. Format it and copy the result.

Limits & privacy

Up to 64 KiB and 64 nested elements. DTDs and entity declarations are rejected. Mixed text, CDATA and xml:space="preserve" documents are validated and returned unchanged to preserve spacing. This checks well-formed XML, not an XSD schema.

Use this tool from the API reference or connect through the SDK, CLI, SSH, or MCP. Hosted calls share your plan allowances.
