XML Viewer: Explore and Search XML Documents Online
XML Viewer parses XML and displays it as a collapsible tree, making elements, attributes, text, comments, and CDATA easy to distinguish. Search filters the view by tag name, and clicking a node copies its XPath. Paste or drop XML to inspect its structure and quickly find or reference the parts you need.
XML Viewer is a browser-based XML viewer that parses XML and presents it in a collapsible tree. It makes element, attribute, text, comment, and CDATA nodes visually distinct, so you can explore an XML document without reading it as one long block of text. Search filters the view by tag name, and clicking a node copies its XPath.
To use the XML Viewer, paste or drop your XML into the tool. The parsed document appears as a tree that you can expand and collapse while inspecting its structure. Attribute chips and node-type icons help distinguish the different parts of the document. Search is based on tag name, and a click on any node copies its XPath for reference.
XML represents structured information using elements, attributes, and text, and documents may also include comments and CDATA. A tree view makes the relationships between those parts easier to inspect than a plain text view. This is useful when you are learning an unfamiliar document, checking a value before writing code to read it, or finding a specific section to reference.
XML Viewer runs entirely in your browser: your input is processed on your device and is not uploaded, stored, or sent to a server. It works offline once the page has loaded, and the tool is free. Developers and DevOps engineers can use it to explore XML documents, check their structure, and copy an XPath when they need to refer to a particular node.
Step 1: Paste or drop your XML into the viewer. The tool parses the supplied content and displays it as a tree.
Step 2: Inspect the collapsible tree. Element, attribute, text, comment, and CDATA nodes have distinct visual indicators.
Step 3: Search by tag name to filter the view. This helps you locate matching elements in the document.
Step 4: Click a node to copy its XPath. Use the copied path as a reference when working with that part of the XML.
Use case: Inspect an XML document you did not write and find its structure easier to follow in a collapsible tree.
Use case: Check a value's place in an XML document before writing code that consumes it.
Use case: Find a tag by name when exploring an unfamiliar document, then copy a node's XPath for reference.
Use case: Review an XML configuration file and distinguish its elements, attributes, text, comments, and CDATA.
Use case: Explore an XML response while investigating how its data is organized.
Use case: Copy a clean excerpt from a large document after locating the relevant section in the tree.
