DEVELOPER BENCH
Parse supplied XML with the browser DOM parser and serialize a readable indented representation without uploading the document.
WHAT THIS DOES
Runs entirely in your browser.
/tools/xml-formatterxml-formatterv4.0.0LOCAL · LOCAL RUNIMPLEMENTED — This workbench is functional in the current release.Presets for this workbench
No preset yet. A preset stores the values in this form — never the result — and only for workbenches that run entirely in your browser.
Collections
Saved on this device only. Turn on sync to carry them to another device.
BATCH / ONE VALUE PER LINE
Up to 200 lines, one at a time, in this browser. Each line takes the place of xml and everything else stays as you set it. Nothing is uploaded, and the row limit is not exceeded silently.
METHOD / LOCAL RUN
A browser DOMParser checks XML well-formedness, then a local serializer walks element, text, comment, and declaration nodes with indentation.
Boundary: This checks XML well-formedness only. It does not resolve external entities, validate an XSD/DTD, execute code, or preserve byte-for-byte formatting.
The calculation or transformation runs in your browser using the values entered above. No input is sent to UtilityForge for this tool.

FAQ
This checks XML well-formedness only. It does not resolve external entities, validate an XSD/DTD, execute code, or preserve byte-for-byte formatting.
No. This published tool runs locally in your browser. UtilityForge does not send the values entered in this workbench to a server.
No. This workbench runs in the page: XML input are read by the code your browser already downloaded, and UtilityForge receives neither the values nor the result.
Yes, and it is enforced rather than advertised: XML input (100,000 characters). The limit is a browser input limit on a tool that runs on this device, so nothing is truncated after being sent anywhere.
