XML Tools

XML Formatter

Paste XML, format it without flattening mixed content, then review root, namespaces, repeated elements and external-reference signals before reuse.

XML structure & handoff review

Parse the document you will actually use

Check structure, namespaces, repeated records, mixed content and remote-looking references. Converter pages review generated XML output when that is the handoff artifact.

Reviewing current XML…

Browser DOM parsing checks well-formedness and structure. It is not an XSD/DTD/business-rule validator, sanitizer or permission to trust remote resources; this review does not fetch external schemas or entities.

XML format policy, namespace & mixed-content audit

Use the XML already entered above and inspect what formatting is allowed to change. Validate well-formedness, count namespaces, comments, CDATA and mixed-content elements, then preview a formatter policy that preserves semantic text instead of blindly rewriting every whitespace node.

Structure	Count / status	Policy	Why it matters

Formatting XML is not equivalent to changing data. Mixed text, CDATA, namespaces and xml:space-sensitive content should be treated conservatively.

What this XML step proves

Formatting must preserve XML meaning, not just indentation.

What to review before handoff

Mixed text/element order, comments, CDATA and processing instructions are preserved. Namespace declarations remain part of the document.
