Why Use XML Viewer?
Interactive Tree View
Navigate your XML as a collapsible tree with color-coded elements, attributes, and text nodes. Expand and collapse any node instantly.
XPath Search
Run XPath expressions against your XML document to locate specific elements, attributes, or values. Results are highlighted in the tree.
Instant Validation
Detect malformed XML immediately with clear error messages showing the exact line and position of parsing errors.
Format & Minify
Pretty-print XML with proper indentation or minify to remove whitespace. Copy or download the result with one click.
Common Use Cases
Why view XML files online
Debug API Responses
Paste XML responses from REST or SOAP APIs to quickly inspect the structure, find elements, and debug issues.
Inspect Configuration Files
Open and explore XML config files (web.xml, pom.xml, .csproj) to verify settings without an IDE.
Query with XPath
Test XPath expressions against your XML document before using them in code. Find matching nodes instantly.
View on Any Device
Access and explore XML files on mobile, tablet, or any browser without installing desktop software.
How It Works
Upload or Paste XML
Drag and drop an XML file, paste XML text directly, or load sample data to get started immediately.
Explore the Tree
Navigate the parsed XML as a collapsible tree. Click elements to expand or collapse. See attributes, text, and comments inline.
Search & Query
Use text search to find elements by name or content. Use XPath queries for precise document traversal.
Format & Export
Format XML with proper indentation, minify to save space, copy to clipboard, or download the formatted file.
Pro Tips for XML Viewing
Check Well-Formedness
If your XML won't parse, look for unclosed tags, missing quotes around attribute values, or unescaped special characters like & and <.
Use XPath Shortcuts
Use // to search anywhere in the document, @ to access attributes, and text() to get text content. Example: //item[@id='123'].
Expand to Depth
Use the depth controls to expand the tree to a specific level. This is useful for large documents where you want to see the overall structure first.
Copy Node as XML
Right-click or use the copy button on any tree node to copy just that element and its children as formatted XML.
