How this Online XML Viewer works

This XML viewer renders well-formatted, syntax-highlighted XML markup in your browser for easy inspection and navigation. Paste raw or minified XML into the editor and the tool immediately formats it with consistent indentation and color-coded tags, attributes, and values. A switchable tree view lets you expand and collapse nodes to explore deeply nested document structures.

Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript parsing libraries. Your XML data is never transmitted to any server, making the tool suitable for viewing configuration files, API responses, and data exports that may contain sensitive system information or credentials.

The viewer supports large XML documents and handles standard XML features including namespaces, CDATA sections, processing instructions, and XML comments. It is particularly useful for inspecting SOAP responses, RSS and Atom feeds, SVG files, and build configuration formats such as Maven POM or Ant build files without installing a dedicated XML editor.
