Edit and View XML

A tree makes XML obvious; an editor makes it editable. Edit and View XML gives you both on one screen: edit the raw document on the left while a syntax-coloured, collapsible tree of the same document updates live on the right.

Validation runs as you type, so a broken tag shows the exact parse error the moment it happens. Format and Minify actions tidy the document in place, and the tree stays in sync. Editing, validation and rendering all happen locally in your browser.

• Split editing view: raw text editor beside a live visual tree.
• Live validation: well-formed documents show a green status; errors show the parser message with location.
• Collapsible tree: expand and collapse any node, or fold the whole document.
• Syntax-coloured tree: tags, attributes, values, text, comments, CDATA and processing instructions are colour-coded.
• Format action: indent the document with two-space indentation in place.
• Minify action: collapse the document to a single compact line.
• Node counts: each element shows the number of child elements.
• Copy, download or print: take the edited document anywhere.
• Private by design: nothing leaves your browser.

1. Paste XML or load a file — the tree renders immediately.
2. Edit in the textarea — the tree and status update as you type.
3. Use Format or Minify to tidy the document in place.
4. Collapse or expand the tree to inspect structure.
5. Copy, download or print the finished document.

Example 1 — Configuration editing. Open a config XML, edit values on the left and confirm the structure stays valid via the live tree and status before saving.

Example 2 — Understanding feeds. Load an unfamiliar feed and use the collapsible tree to trace the nesting, element names and attribute layout.

Example 3 — Quick fixes. Diagnose a broken document, fix the offending tag in the editor, and watch the status flip from red to green.

Example 4 — Documentation walkthroughs. Present a document by collapsing everything except the branch you are explaining.

• See structure instantly — the tree makes nesting visible.
• Never edit blind — live validation catches breaks as they happen.
• In-place tools — format and minify without leaving the page.
• Fully local — editing and validation never leave your browser.
• Free and unlimited — no sign-up, no limits.
