XML formatter

An XML beautifier you can actually work in

An XML formatter normalizes indentation and line breaks so nested tags are readable in code review, support tickets, and config diffs. That is the baseline. This workspace goes further: the left column is a visual editor with syntax highlighting—not a plain textarea—so you can change attributes, add a missing closing tag, or wrap a stray ampersand while you still see the raw document. The middle column updates when you run Format XML; the right column shows a live element tree only when the document parses, which is a stronger check than eyeballing whitespace alone.

When the parser fails, you get a localized explanation with line and column numbers, not a wall of browser jargon. The status panel tells you whether the problem is in your input or in the formatted output, and suggests trying Repair XML when the issue looks mechanical—unquoted attributes, unescaped & or < in text nodes, that sort of thing. Repair does not rewrite business logic; it targets syntax that blocks parsing. If repair cannot finish the job, you still know exactly where to edit. One click sends a clean file to our XML Viewer when you need tabs, folder import, or click-to-locate between tree and code.
