XML Unescape Tool

XML unescape is the process of converting XML entity references back to their original special characters. Whether you're a developer reading XML data, a backend engineer processing SOAP responses, or a web service developer handling XML API payloads, our XML unescape tool converts entity references like &amp;, &lt;, &gt;, &quot;, and &apos; back to their readable character equivalents (&, <, >, ", ').

This tool reverses XML escaping to restore human-readable text from XML entities. Simply paste your XML-escaped text containing entity references, and get instant unescaped output with all special characters restored. The conversion is performed client-side, ensuring your data remains private and secure.

XML unescaping is essential when reading XML data that contains escaped text content. Developers need to unescape XML entities when extracting text from SOAP responses, processing user-generated content stored in XML format, converting XML data to other formats, and displaying XML content in user interfaces. Entity-encoded text is difficult to read and process without unescaping.

API developers use XML unescape to extract readable text from SOAP API responses, process XML-based log files and error messages, convert XML configuration values to usable strings, and display XML feed content (RSS/Atom) properly. Data engineers benefit from unescaping XML before loading into databases, preparing XML content for text analysis, and converting legacy XML data to modern formats.

The tool ensures text readability by converting entities to characters, enables proper text processing and analysis, and makes XML content human-readable. It's particularly valuable when working with SOAP API responses containing escaped content, processing XML feeds with encoded descriptions, or extracting text from XML documents for display or further processing.

SOAP API Response Processing: Unescape text content from SOAP XML responses for display.

RSS/Atom Feed Reading: Convert entity-encoded article descriptions to readable text.

XML Data Export: Prepare XML content for display in user interfaces or reports.

Configuration File Reading: Extract human-readable values from XML config files.

Data Migration: Convert XML-escaped text during data migration to other formats.

Text Extraction: Extract and unescape text content from XML documents for analysis.

Using our XML unescape tool is simple: paste your XML-escaped text containing entity references into the input field, and the unescaped readable text appears instantly. The tool automatically converts all standard XML entities (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;, &quot;, &apos;) to their character equivalents. Copy the result for use in your application.

The tool handles all XML entity types correctly, supports large text blocks with multiple entities, preserves line breaks and formatting, and produces readable output immediately. All unescaping is performed client-side in your browser, ensuring your XML data remains private and secure. The output is ready for display, processing, or further text analysis.
