XML Tools
Format, minify, and generate dummy XML.
Format, validate, and minify XML documents online. Pretty print XML with proper indentation for easier reading.
What is This Tool?
XML tools provide formatting, validation, minification, and conversion utilities for XML data. Pretty-print XML with proper indentation, validate against schemas, minify for production, and convert between XML, JSON, and other formats.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) remains essential for SOAP APIs, RSS/Atom feeds, SVG graphics, Android layouts, .NET configuration, and enterprise data exchange. Despite JSON's rise, XML's schema validation, namespaces, and attribute support keep it relevant in many domains.
Common Use Cases
API Debugging
Format and inspect SOAP API responses, RSS feeds, and XML-based API payloads for debugging and development.
Configuration Management
Format and validate XML config files for Java (pom.xml, web.xml), .NET (app.config), and Android (AndroidManifest.xml).
Data Transformation
Convert XML to JSON for modern API consumption, or JSON to XML for legacy system integration.
Document Processing
Format and validate XHTML documents, SVG files, and XML-based document formats (DOCX, XLSX internals).
Frequently Asked Questions
What XML operations are supported?
Formatting (pretty-print), minification, validation (well-formedness), XML-to-JSON conversion, and XPath querying.
Does it validate against XSD schemas?
Well-formedness validation (proper nesting, closing tags) is built-in. XSD schema validation may require additional configuration.
How is XML different from HTML?
XML is strict — all tags must close, attributes must be quoted, and it is case-sensitive. HTML is more forgiving and has predefined tags.
