XML formatter is one of 55 tools in Hexkit, a desktop developer toolbox that runs entirely on your own machine. Beautify or minify XML with an XPath filter for subtree extraction.
Because Hexkit is a native app rather than a web page, anything you paste into the xml formatter stays local — there are no uploads, no accounts and no telemetry. You can reshape configs and API payloads even with the network turned off, which makes it safe for tokens, keys and production data.
