XML from feeds, sitemaps and configuration files is often squeezed onto a single line. A formatter shows its structure with indentation.
How to format
- Open XML Formatter and paste your XML.
- Choose the indent.
- Copy the formatted result.
If the XML does not format
The XML may be broken. Check that every opening tag has a closing tag, tags are nested correctly, and special characters such as & are written as &.
Where it helps
- Reading sitemaps and RSS feeds.
- Checking configuration files.
- Comparing two versions of an XML document.
