About This XML Formatter & Validator
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language for storing and transporting data in a hierarchical structure. Use this tool to format XML for readability and validate its syntax.
What is the difference between XML and JSON?
XML is a tag-based markup language that supports attributes and strict validation via schemas (XSD). JSON is more concise and preferred for web APIs. XML is still widely used in SOAP web services, RSS feeds, and configuration files (Maven, Android).
What does 'well-formed XML' mean?
Well-formed XML must have a single root element, all tags must be properly closed, and attribute values must be quoted. This tool instantly checks whether your XML is well-formed.
Where is XML used?
XML is used in SOAP web services, RSS/Atom feeds, SVG graphics, Office document formats (.docx, .xlsx), Android resource files, and Maven/Spring configurations.
