Frequently asked questions
Does this validate against an XSD schema?+
No, it checks basic well-formedness only, not schema validation.
Is my XML sent to a server?+
No, formatting happens entirely in your browser.
XML responses from APIs, config files, and SOAP services are often returned as a single unreadable line. This tool re-indents your XML with consistent nesting so you can actually read the document structure, spot mismatched tags, and understand parent-child relationships at a glance. It runs entirely client-side using your browser's built-in XML parser to catch basic structural errors, so nothing you paste is ever sent anywhere. It's a quick way to inspect a webhook payload, a sitemap, an RSS feed, or an old SOAP request without opening a heavyweight IDE.
