About Code Formatter

Useful for making a minified payload readable again, for checking that a config parses before you ship it, or for stripping a file down for production. Switching language keeps whatever you have already pasted.

Indent and align a raw or minified XML document so its element hierarchy is clear at a glance — ideal for config files, SOAP payloads and RSS feeds. Formatting happens locally in your browser with no upload.

Paste messy or minified code and instantly beautify, minify or validate JSON, HTML, CSS, SQL, XML and YAML. Beautifying re-indents your source with consistent spacing so it is easy to read and review; minifying strips whitespace and comments to ship smaller files; validating surfaces syntax errors with the exact location so you can fix them fast.

It also doubles as a converter between common data formats — JSON to CSV, CSV to JSON, YAML to JSON and back — which is handy when wiring up APIs, configs or spreadsheets. Converting is where structure mismatches surface: CSV has no nesting, so a nested JSON object has to be flattened or dropped.

Frequently asked questions

Will beautifying change my XML's meaning?

For most documents, no. But XML preserves whitespace inside elements by default, so if your consumer treats text content as significant — mixed content, or an element whose value has meaningful spacing — added indentation can matter. Configuration files, SOAP envelopes and RSS feeds are safe in practice.

Does it validate against a schema?

No. It checks that the document is well-formed — tags balanced and properly nested — but it does not validate against a DTD, XSD or RELAX NG schema. Well-formed and valid are different things.

Can it handle a SOAP response or an RSS feed?

Yes. Both are ordinary XML, and indenting them makes the envelope, header and body structure — or a feed's channel and item hierarchy — obvious at a glance.

Pro Tips

→Paste unformatted JSON, HTML, CSS, or SQL code and apply consistent indentation (2, 4, or tab spaces) in one click.
→Use minification toggle to reduce code size by 30-50% for production deployment or email constraints.
→Export formatted code directly to clipboard to paste into documentation, emails, or config files instantly.
→Compare formatted vs minified side-by-side to verify code compression doesn't break syntax.

Common Use Cases

•Reading a SOAP response captured from a legacy integration
•Inspecting an RSS or Atom feed that arrives as one unbroken line
•Reviewing a verbose build or application config before editing it

How It Compares

While Prettier and VS Code extensions require installation and configuration, our web-based formatter works instantly on any device without setup, offering broader language support (HTML, CSS, SQL) in a single tool compared to language-specific formatters like Beautifier.io.
