XML Viewer for Config Files

About This Tool

Configuration files are at the heart of modern software development — from package.json and tsconfig.json to VS Code settings and cloud infrastructure templates. This XML Viewer for Config Files is tailored for processing XML configuration files with the precision and care they require. Configuration files often contain comments (in formats that support them), version-specific settings, and carefully structured hierarchies that must be preserved during formatting. The tool processes these files while maintaining all data integrity, ensuring that indentation reveals the logical structure of configuration sections, nested settings, and conditional values. Whether you are cleaning up auto-generated configuration, merging settings from multiple sources, or preparing config files for documentation, this tool handles the task reliably.

What is XML Viewer?

An XML viewer provides validation and a formatted structural view of XML documents in one tool. It validates the document for well-formedness, reports element count and attribute count, and displays the formatted XML with proper indentation to reveal the complete element hierarchy. This dual-purpose tool is ideal for quickly inspecting XML from APIs, feeds, and configuration files without switching between a validator and a formatter. Whether you are debugging a failing SOAP service, exploring an unknown XML schema, or reviewing a configuration file, the XML viewer gives you immediate insight into the document's structure and validity.
