Frequently Asked Questions
Is my XML data private?
Yes, all XML formatting happens entirely in your browser. Your XML data is never sent to any external server. The tool runs 100% client-side using JavaScript, so your configuration files, API responses, and sensitive data remain completely private.
Does it validate XML syntax?
Yes, the formatter includes basic XML syntax validation. If your XML contains errors such as unclosed tags, mismatched elements, or invalid characters, it will display a helpful error message to help you identify and fix the issue.
Can I format large XML files?
Yes, the formatter can handle large XML files. Since all processing is done client-side in your browser, performance depends on your device. There is no file size limit imposed by the tool, making it suitable for SOAP responses, configuration files, and data exports.
