The XML Formatter & Validator is a utility designed for developers and data professionals working with XML (eXtensible Markup Language). This tool can take unformatted or minified XML and "beautify" it by applying standard indentation, making it readable and easy to navigate. Additionally, it features a robust validator that checks your XML data for well-formedness, helping you catch syntax errors and ensure data integrity before using it in your applications.

1. Paste your XML data into the main text area. You can also click "Load Sample XML" to see a valid example.
2. To beautify your code, click the "Format XML" button. The text in the editor will be updated with proper indentation.
3. To check for errors, click the "Validate XML" button.
4. A message will appear below the editor indicating whether the XML is valid. If it's invalid, an error message will describe the issue.
5. Use the "Copy XML" and "Clear" buttons to manage your text.
