XML Beautifier Online - Beautify and Format XML Documents

Step 1

Input Your XML Data

Start by entering your compressed or unformatted XML data into the beautifier:

•
Paste XML data: Copy compressed XML from applications or web services and paste it in
•
Upload XML files: Select .xml files from your computer for beautification
•
Use sample data: Click "Sample" to load example XML for testing

Example: Compressed XML (Before Beautification)

Here is how messy, unformatted XML typically looks before beautification:

<configuration><database><host>localhost</host><port>5432</port><name>myapp_db</name></database><server><port>8080</port></server></configuration>
Step 2

Choose Formatting Options

Customize how your XML will be formatted with various beautification options:

•
Indentation size: Choose between 2, 4, or 8 spaces for indentation
•
Beautify or minify: Format for readability or compress for performance
•
Syntax highlighting: Color-coded elements for better readability

Example: Beautifully Formatted XML

Here is how the same XML looks after beautification with proper indentation:

<configuration>
  <database>
    <host>localhost</host>
    <port>5432</port>
    <name>myapp_db</name>
  </database>
  <server>
    <port>8080</port>
  </server>
</configuration>
Step 3

Copy or Download Your Beautified XML

Once your XML is beautifully formatted, export it for use in your projects:

•
Copy to clipboard: Instantly copy beautified XML for use in your projects
•
Download as file: Save beautified XML as a .xml file to your computer
•
Share results: Generate shareable links for team collaboration

Frequently Asked Questions

What does XML beautification do?

XML beautification formats messy or minified XML by adding proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing. It makes XML code more readable and easier to debug while preserving the original data structure and content.

Can this tool handle large XML files?

Yes. The tool efficiently processes large XML files and maintains performance while providing real-time formatting feedback. Upload the file directly rather than pasting to avoid browser paste size limits.
