Open an XML file and read its elements and attributes. Your file never leaves this page. Everything happens in your browser, and there is no upload endpoint to send it to — that is checked by a build gate that fails if any network code reaches a tool’s bundle.
How to do it
- Drop your XML file onto the box, or paste it.
- Read the structure below.
- Use the search box to find a value.
Questions
Will it tell me what is wrong with a broken file?
Yes — a mismatched closing tag, an unclosed element or an unterminated comment, each with the line it is on. Broken markup is not quietly repaired, because a repaired tree is not the document you have.
Is it safe to open an XML file from somewhere else?
Yes. A document type definition is skipped rather than interpreted, so declared entities never expand — which closes both the expansion and external-entity problems that XML parsers are known for.
Does it handle CDATA?
Yes, literally: nothing inside a CDATA section is expanded, which is the whole reason the section exists.
