How this XML Editor & Viewer works

This XML editor combines a full-featured code editing environment with an interactive tree viewer for working with XML documents directly in your browser. The code editor provides syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, and real-time error detection that highlights malformed tags, missing closing elements, and attribute syntax errors as you type.

All editing and viewing operations execute locally in your browser. Your XML content is never transmitted to any external server, ensuring complete privacy for configuration files, data feeds, or schema definitions that contain proprietary or sensitive information. The tool loads and processes documents instantly with no network round-trips.

You can switch between the raw code view and the visual tree view at any time. The tree view lets you expand, collapse, and inspect individual nodes for quick navigation of complex documents. The formatter and minifier tools convert between human-readable and compact representations with a single click, making the editor useful for both development debugging and production deployment workflows.
