FAQ

Does this validate my XML?

Yes — if your XML has syntax errors (unclosed tags, invalid characters), the tool will show the browser's parse error message.

Can I upload an XML file?

Not yet — for now, paste your XML directly. File upload is on the roadmap.

Is my XML sent to a server?

No. Parsing and formatting run entirely in your browser using the native DOMParser API.

Does it preserve CDATA sections and comments?

Yes. CDATA sections and XML comments are preserved in the formatted output.

What about XML namespaces?

Namespaces are preserved as-is. The formatter doesn't alter namespace declarations or prefixed elements.
