What is an XML Formatter?

An XML formatter is a tool that takes raw or minified XML markup and reformats it with proper indentation and line breaks, making it easy to read and understand. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is widely used in configuration files, SOAP APIs, SVG graphics, and data exchange formats: but its verbose, nested structure can quickly become unreadable without proper formatting.

CodeHelper's XML Formatter & Converter lets you beautify, validate, and convert XML to JSON, plus test XPath queries: all directly in your browser with no file uploads required.

Key Features

  • Beautify XML: Add proper indentation with custom tab sizes for maximum readability.
  • XML to JSON: Convert entire XML documents into JSON format in one click.
  • XPath Tester: Write and test XPath queries against your document to extract specific nodes.
  • Syntax Highlighting: Color-coded output for tags, attributes, and content.
  • Minify XML: Strip all whitespace to produce compact output for production use.

How to use the XML Formatter

  1. Paste your XML document into the input area.
  2. Click Format to beautify and validate the structure.
  3. Use the XML to JSON tab to convert the document.
  4. Enter an XPath expression to query specific elements.
  5. Copy or download the formatted result.
