What SOAP Formatter does
The SOAP Formatter on CodeBeautify processes raw, unformatted SOAP messages into clean, properly indented XML output. Users paste their code into the input field and receive a structured version that makes tags, attributes, and data hierarchies easier to read and debug. The tool supports loading SOAP data from a URL or file, and the formatted result can be downloaded or shared. It is designed for anyone working with SOAP-based web services who needs to examine or clean legacy or complex payloads without writing custom scripts.

- 2
Click the Format SOAP button to process the message and generate indented XML
- 3

Best for
Developers, API testers, and anyone working with SOAP-based web services who need to quickly reformat and inspect raw envelope payloads.
Limitations
- Interface includes ads and social sharing prompts that can distract from the formatting task
- No explicit option to toggle between different XML indentation styles or unit preferences
- Results depend on the tool's internal parsing; highly malformed SOAP may not render correctly
SOAP Formatter FAQ
- Can I format a SOAP message without pasting the entire XML text?
- Yes, the tool accepts a URL input; enter the endpoint link and the formatter will retrieve and beautify the SOAP payload automatically.
- Does the formatter preserve XML namespaces and attributes?
- The tool processes the structure to generate clean output that maintains tags, attributes, and data hierarchies as they appear in the original message.
- Is there a limit on the size of SOAP data I can format?
- The material does not specify size limits; very large messages may take longer to process or behave unpredictably.
- Can I use the formatted output in my own projects?
- The formatted XML can be downloaded or shared; however, check the original source license for any reuse restrictions on the content itself.
