About XML Formatter
Preserve XML structure while indenting
The tool uses an XML formatter library with configurable indentation and line separators. It keeps elements, attributes, CDATA, comments, and processing instructions readable without turning XML into another data format.
Inspect deeply nested documents
Use it when debugging SOAP payloads, RSS feeds, SAML snippets, or enterprise configuration files. Consistent indentation helps you see parent-child relationships and spot misplaced closing tags.
