XML Validate Tools

Validate XML well-formedness

Open the child tool when you need to check an XML document's structure. The validation and formatting controls are on the same page, so you can check the input before preparing a copy or download.

• XML Validator & Formatter validates XML well-formedness, formats or minifies the input, lets you choose indentation, and provides controls to copy or download the output.

Format or minify XML

Choose format when you need readable spacing and indentation. Choose minify when you need a compact result. For formatted output, select the indentation setting before you copy or download it.

These output choices have different uses. Formatted XML gives you spacing and indentation to inspect. Minified XML removes that presentation spacing. Check well-formedness first, then choose the output form you need to copy or download.

Use the output after validation

After the well-formedness check, XML Validator & Formatter can produce formatted or minified XML. Choose indentation for formatted output, then copy the result or download it.

The category does not require an upload. Validation runs in the browser. XML Validator & Formatter provides the copy and download controls for the resulting output.

Use XML Tools for other XML jobs

Use XML Validate Tools for well-formedness checks, formatting, and minifying. For cleaning, comparing, merging, querying with XPath, or converting XML to JSON, open the parent XML Tools category.
