What Is An XML Viewer?

An XML viewer is a tool that displays XML documents in a structured and readable way. Instead of reading raw XML text, you can inspect elements, attributes, text values and nested nodes as a tree.

XML Viewer vs XML Formatter

An XML formatter focuses on indentation and spacing. An XML viewer goes further by showing the XML document as a tree, allowing you to expand and collapse nodes, search content and inspect the structure more easily.
