What this tool does
About the XML Formatter
Indent and format XML for easier reading. It is useful when data needs to move between spreadsheets, APIs, configuration files, databases, or documentation without retyping records.
Formatting changes whitespace and layout for readability; it does not intentionally change the underlying values.
How to use it
- Paste XML in the input pane. Use the example button if you want to see the expected syntax.
- Review the input for the structure shown in the example. Then select “Format XML.”
- Inspect the result for warnings or structural differences, then copy it into the destination system.
Practical example
Start with a known input
Try this sample input: <note><to>Avery</to><message>Hello</message></note> Select “Format XML” and compare the result with the source before using it elsewhere.
What to know about the result
- XML represents data with elements and attributes. Repeated elements normally become repeated records during table conversion.
- Processing happens in this browser. Your entered text and selected files are not sent to FormatCalc for conversion.
