How to use this xml formatter
Paste XML and click Format. Elements are indented by depth. Self-closing tags stay on one line.
This indents tags; it does not validate against an XSD. Use it to read API responses and config files.
Example
<root><item id="1"/></root> formats with the child element indented under root.

Frequently asked questions
Does this validate XML?
It pretty-prints. Malformed XML may still indent. Pair with a schema validator if you need guarantees.
HTML or XML?
Use the HTML Formatter for HTML void tags. This XML mode treats tags more strictly as nested elements.
Is XML uploaded?
