Frequently asked questions
Does it validate against a schema (XSD)?
No — it checks that tags are properly nested and closed, not that the document matches an XSD.
Is the XML Formatter free and private?
Yes. The XML Formatter is free, needs no account, and runs entirely in your browser. What you type is never sent to a server or stored.
