Your code never leaves your browser. Everything runs locally on your device.

XML that arrives on one long line is hard to read, hard to debug, and easy to break when you edit it by hand. The BotixTech XML Beautifier rebuilds it with clean indentation, so every nested element sits exactly where you expect it.

Paste your XML or upload a file, pick an indent size, and get readable output with elements on their own lines, mixed content kept inline, and CDATA and comments placed clearly. Everything runs in your browser, so your data stays private.

How to Beautify XML

  1. Paste or upload your XML. Type or paste code into the input box, or upload an XML file from your device.
  2. Pick an indent size. Choose 2 spaces or 4 spaces, and decide whether comments stay in the formatted output.
  3. Click Beautify XML. The formatted result appears instantly, with clean nesting and readable structure.
  4. Copy or download it. Copy the beautified XML to your clipboard or download it as a file for your project.

Why Use This XML Beautifier

Frequently Asked Questions

01.Does the XML beautifier change my data?

No. It only changes whitespace and layout. Element names, attributes, text values, and CDATA content stay exactly the same.

02.How does it handle text mixed with tags?

Text that sits next to inline tags stays on one line, so sentences and mixed content read naturally instead of being split across lines.

03.What happens to empty elements?

Empty elements are written as self closing tags, which keeps the output short and easy to scan.

04.Are CDATA sections and comments kept?

Yes. CDATA sections keep their exact content on their own lines, and comments stay on their own lines unless you turn the keep comments option off.

05.What happens if my XML has an error?

The tool shows a friendly invalid XML message and leaves your input untouched, so you can fix the error before trying again.

06.Can I choose the indent size?

Yes. You can format with 2 spaces or 4 spaces, depending on the style your project uses.
