XML Pretty Print

XML pretty print is an online tool that formats XML documents with proper indentation, line breaks, and visual structure to improve readability. Whether you're a developer debugging SOAP responses, an XML author reviewing documents, or a system administrator examining configuration files, our pretty print tool transforms minified or poorly formatted XML into beautifully structured, human-readable code with customizable indentation.

This tool adds proper indentation (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs) to XML elements, inserts line breaks for better visual hierarchy, aligns attributes consistently, preserves XML structure and content, and provides syntax highlighting for enhanced readability. Simply paste your minified or unformatted XML and instantly receive a beautifully formatted, easy-to-read document.

Readable XML is essential for code review, debugging, and maintenance. Developers need pretty-printed XML to quickly understand document structure in SOAP responses, debug API integration issues with readable XML, review XML configuration changes in version control, and maintain XML files with clear visual hierarchy. Minified or single-line XML is nearly impossible to read and debug effectively.

API developers use XML pretty print to format SOAP API responses for debugging, make XML payloads readable for testing and validation, review XML logs and error messages clearly, and present XML examples in documentation. System administrators benefit from formatting XML config files for easier editing and review, making backup XML files human-readable, and comparing XML versions with proper formatting.

The tool transforms unreadable XML into maintainable code, enables quick comprehension of XML structure, and makes debugging significantly faster. It's particularly valuable when working with minified XML from production systems, debugging SOAP API integration issues, or reviewing XML changes where proper formatting makes differences immediately visible.

Debugging: Format minified SOAP responses for easier debugging and error analysis.

Code Review: Pretty print XML files before code review for better readability.

Documentation: Format XML examples in documentation with proper indentation.

Configuration Editing: Make XML config files readable before editing or updating.

Version Control: Format XML before committing to see meaningful diffs.

Learning: Study well-formatted XML to understand structure and best practices.

Using our XML pretty print tool is effortless: paste your minified or unformatted XML into the input area, select your preferred indentation style (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs), and the tool instantly formats your XML with proper structure and indentation. Copy the beautifully formatted result for use in your editor, documentation, or debugging workflow.

The tool handles complex nested XML structures, preserves all content and attributes while formatting, supports customizable indentation preferences, and maintains XML semantic meaning. All formatting is performed client-side in your browser, ensuring your sensitive XML data (configs, SOAP messages) remains private and secure. The output is immediately ready for review, editing, or debugging.
