XML Highlighter: Highlight, Copy, and Export XML Online
The XML Highlighter tokenizes XML and displays it with syntax highlighting in a configurable light or dark theme. Paste or drop XML to inspect the highlighted view, then copy the output as rich text or export a standalone HTML file with inline styles. You can also toggle line numbers to suit how you review or share the document.
The XML Highlighter is a browser-based tool for making XML easier to read and share. It tokenizes XML and displays it with syntax highlighting, so you can inspect a document without needing to work through an unformatted block of text. Paste or drop XML into the tool to view the highlighted result.
Choose a light or dark theme to change the appearance, and toggle line numbers when they are useful for your review. When you are ready to reuse the result, copy the highlighted output as rich text or export it as a standalone HTML file with inline styles. These options let you choose how to view and share the XML without changing the input format.
XML represents structured data using elements, which can be nested, along with attributes and text content. A highlighted view can make those parts easier to scan when you are inspecting a document, checking the structure around a value, or preparing an excerpt. The tool focuses on displaying XML; it is not described as a converter to another data format.
The XML Highlighter runs entirely in your browser. Your input is processed on your device and is not uploaded, stored, or sent to a server. Because the tool has no server dependency, it continues to work offline once the page has loaded.
This XML Highlighter is useful for developers and DevOps engineers who need to review XML they did not create, examine data before writing code that consumes it, or share a readable excerpt. It also suits anyone who wants a quick way to view XML with a theme and line-number options.
Step 1: Paste or drop your XML into the tool. Use XML content you want to inspect or prepare for sharing.
Step 2: Inspect the highlighted view. The tool tokenizes the XML so its structure is easier to scan.
Step 3: Choose a light or dark theme. Pick the display style that works best for your review.
Step 4: Toggle line numbers if they help you follow or discuss specific lines.
Step 5: Copy the highlighted output as rich text, or export it as a standalone HTML file with inline styles.
Use case: Inspect an XML document you did not write and cannot easily read. Syntax highlighting makes its structure easier to scan.
Use case: Check the structure around a value before writing code that consumes it. The highlighted view helps you review the surrounding XML.
Use case: Copy a clean excerpt out of a large document. Rich-text copying preserves the highlighted presentation.
Use case: Prepare XML for sharing in a document or message. Copy the highlighted output as rich text for a more readable excerpt.
