🔄 Process XML

Tree View Visualization

View XML structure as an interactive collapsible tree with expand/collapse nodes. Navigate complex nested structures easily, understand parent-child relationships, and identify document hierarchy at a glance. Perfect for analyzing configuration files and data structures.

Format & Beautify

Transform messy, minified, or poorly formatted XML into beautifully indented, readable code. Automatically adds proper line breaks, consistent indentation, and logical structure. Makes complex XML documents easier to understand, edit, and maintain.

XML Validation

Validate XML syntax and well-formedness. Detect unclosed tags, missing attributes, invalid characters, and structure errors. Detailed error messages with line numbers help you quickly identify and fix problems in XML documents before deployment or integration.

Syntax Highlighting

Color-coded XML elements, attributes, values, and comments for easy comprehension. Tags appear in blue, attributes in green, text content in black, and comments in gray. Visual distinction helps identify different XML components quickly and reduces reading errors.

Minify XML

Compress XML by removing unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and comments while preserving data integrity. Reduces file size for faster transmission over networks, smaller storage requirements, and improved application performance with large XML datasets.

XML to JSON Converter

Convert XML data to JSON format for use in modern web applications, REST APIs, and JavaScript frameworks. Maintains data structure and hierarchy while transforming to JSON objects and arrays. Essential for integrating legacy XML systems with contemporary applications.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <element attribute="value">
    <child>Text content</child>
  </element>
</root>

⚙️ Configuration Files

View and edit application configuration files like Maven pom.xml, Spring applicationContext.xml, Android layouts, or web.xml. Format messy config files for better readability, validate syntax before deployment, and understand complex configuration hierarchies quickly.

📡 API Responses

Inspect XML responses from SOAP web services, REST APIs, or third-party integrations. Format API responses for debugging, validate response structure, convert to JSON for modern applications, and understand complex nested response payloads from legacy systems.

📊 Data Exchange

Process XML data exports from databases, ERP systems, or enterprise applications. View large data files in structured format, validate data integrity before import, format for human review, and convert to JSON for integration with modern data processing pipelines.

📰 RSS/Atom Feeds

Analyze RSS or Atom feed XML for blog posts, news sites, or podcast channels. Validate feed syntax, understand feed structure, debug feed parsing issues, and ensure feeds comply with RSS/Atom specifications for proper consumption by feed readers and aggregators.

📄 Document Formats

Inspect XML-based document formats like Microsoft Office documents (.docx, .xlsx), SVG graphics, XHTML pages, or OpenDocument formats. Extract content, understand document structure, modify templates, or debug rendering issues in XML-based document systems.

🔍 Debugging & Development

Debug XML-related issues in software development. Validate XML before processing, format minified XML from network traffic, understand XML structure in unfamiliar systems, verify XML transformations (XSLT), and troubleshoot XML parsing errors in applications.

To view an XML file online, simply paste your XML code into our viewer or upload your XML file using the file chooser. Click "Process XML" to view the formatted, syntax-highlighted output. You can switch between tree view for structure visualization or formatted text view with color coding. No software installation required—everything works directly in your browser.

XML and HTML are both markup languages but serve different purposes. XML is designed for data storage and transport with custom tags you define, while HTML is for displaying content with predefined tags. XML is strict (must be well-formed), whereas HTML is more forgiving. XML focuses on what data is, HTML focuses on how data looks. XML is used for configuration files, data exchange, and APIs; HTML is for web pages and content presentation.

Use our validation feature to identify XML syntax errors. Common issues include: unclosed tags (every opening tag needs a closing tag), incorrect nesting (tags must be properly nested), missing quotes around attribute values, unescaped special characters (use &lt; for <, &gt; for >), and case sensitivity (opening and closing tags must match exactly). Our validator shows error messages with line numbers to help you locate and fix problems quickly.

Yes! Select the "To JSON" mode and click Process XML to convert your XML data to JSON format. XML elements become JSON objects, XML attributes become object properties, and nested elements become nested JSON structures. This is useful for integrating XML data with modern JavaScript applications, REST APIs, or NoSQL databases. The conversion maintains data hierarchy and structure while transforming to JSON syntax.

Yes, your data is completely safe. All XML processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript—no data is ever sent to our servers or stored anywhere. Your XML files never leave your computer. This client-side approach ensures maximum privacy and security for sensitive configuration files, API responses, or confidential data. You can even use the tool offline once the page loads.

Our XML viewer can handle XML files up to several megabytes in size. For very large files (10MB+), processing time may increase depending on your device's processing power and available memory. For optimal performance with large files, consider using minified view first to check structure, then format specific sections as needed. Browser-based tools have memory limitations, so extremely large XML files (100MB+) may require desktop XML editors.
