# XML Formatter & Indenter

Prettify and indent XML documents with syntax validation and customizable tag spacing. Free, instant formatting that runs inside your browser.

## What is XML Formatter & Indenter?

The XML Formatter pretty-prints XML so that each element sits on its own line, indented according to its depth. Paste single-line or messy XML — SOAP messages, sitemaps, RSS feeds, Android layouts, config files — and choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces or tabs. Attribute values and text content are kept exactly as they are.

## How to use XML Formatter & Indenter

1. **Paste XML** — Paste the XML document or load the sample.
2. **Pick indentation** — Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces or tabs.
3. **Copy** — Copy the formatted XML.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does it validate the XML?

Malformed XML, such as unclosed tags, produces uneven output. Use XML to JSON for a strict parse that reports errors.

### Are comments and CDATA kept?

Yes. Comments and CDATA sections are preserved and indented with the surrounding elements.

### Can I format large sitemaps?

Yes. Files of several megabytes format in the browser in about a second.
