Frequently Asked Questions
What is XML beautification?
XML beautification adds newlines and indentation to nested tags, making the document hierarchy clean, structured, and easy for humans to read.
Does this tool validate XML syntax?
Yes, it checks for standard XML syntax rules such as unclosed tags, attributes without quotes, and invalid characters, reporting the exact issue and line number.
Are my XML files sent to a server?
No. The formatting is performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your XML data is kept local and completely private.
