🌳 XML Viewer — Free Online Tool

Explore XML as an interactive collapsible tree, free. An XML viewer renders an XML document as an interactive, collapsible tree of elements, attributes, and text so you can navigate nested markup without scanning angle brackets. This tool parses your XML in the browser and lets you expand or collapse nodes, search, and copy any element or value on hover — entirely on your device.

🚀 Why use this XML Viewer tool?

It shows elements, attributes, and text as a navigable tree with search and copy-on-hover, making large or unfamiliar XML easy to explore. 100% free, no registration, and complete privacy — everything runs locally in your browser, so your data never touches a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an XML viewer do?

It parses XML and displays it as an interactive tree of elements, attributes, and text, instead of raw markup. That makes nested or unfamiliar XML far easier to read, search, and copy from.

Does it show attributes as well as elements?

Yes. Each element node shows its attributes alongside its child elements and text content, so you can see the full structure at a glance.

Can it handle large XML files?

Yes. Parsing runs locally with no upload limit beyond your device's memory, and collapse/expand plus search keep large documents navigable.

Is my XML uploaded anywhere?

No. The document is parsed entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.

Why won't my XML load?

The viewer needs well-formed XML. Unclosed tags, mismatched names, or an undeclared entity will fail — format or fix the XML first, then view it.

🎓 Pro Tips

  • Tip 1: Search by element or attribute name to locate a node in a large document instead of scrolling.
  • Tip 2: If it won't load, run the XML Formatter first to surface well-formedness errors.
  • Tip 3: Collapse to the top level, then expand only the branch you need, to keep big documents readable.
