HTML to XML Converter: Serialize HTML as XML Online
The HTML to XML converter walks the document body and serializes its tree as well-formed XML, including an XML declaration. It preserves attributes, escapes text for XML, and writes empty elements as self-closing tags. Paste HTML, review the generated XML, and copy it into a system or codebase that accepts XML. The result is ready to inspect before you reuse it.
The HTML to XML converter walks the document body and serializes its tree as well-formed XML. It adds an XML declaration, includes attributes, escapes text, and represents empty elements with self-closing tags. Paste HTML into the browser-based tool to get XML that you can inspect and copy for another workflow.
The conversion starts from the document body tree. The tool serializes that tree as XML, with text escaped for XML and empty elements written as self-closing tags. You can adjust any available options before reviewing the result; the provided interface does not specify option names or describe additional conversion settings.
HTML and XML have different markup rules and are used by different tools and workflows. HTML is commonly used to structure web pages, while XML represents structured data with markup. Converting HTML to XML can help when a system accepts XML but your source content is HTML. The generated XML includes a declaration so you can identify the output format when reviewing it.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser: the input is processed on your device and is not uploaded, stored, or sent to a server. After the page has loaded, the tool can also work offline because it has no server dependency. Use it to inspect and copy output without sending your HTML elsewhere.
This tool is useful for developers and DevOps engineers moving markup between systems, checking a conversion, or preparing content for code and documentation. It also helps anyone who needs to turn an HTML body tree into XML and wants to review the serialized result before using it.
Step 1: Paste your HTML input into the converter. It processes the document body tree.
Step 2: Adjust any available options before converting, if needed.
Step 3: Review the XML result, which includes an XML declaration and escaped text.
Step 4: Check that attributes are present and empty elements use self-closing tags.
Step 5: Copy the XML output into your code, documentation, or XML-accepting system.
Use case: Move HTML data into a system that only accepts XML. The converter serializes the document body as well-formed XML for that next step.
Use case: Check that an XML value you were handed matches the HTML original. Comparing the serialized output can help you inspect the markup and its attributes.
Use case: Prepare HTML snippets for documentation, a ticket, or a commit message. Copy the XML result when the surrounding workflow requires XML.
Use case: Sanity-check a conversion before pasting the result into code. Review the declaration, escaped text, attributes, and self-closing empty elements first.
Use case: Convert a document body for a workflow that expects XML markup. The output gives you a serialized version to review before passing it on.
Use case: Create an XML representation of HTML body content to share with a teammate. The copied result is useful when the receiving process accepts XML rather than HTML.
