XML Syntax Highlighting
What XML Highlighter does
XML Highlighter is a web-based tool that applies syntax highlighting to XML documents, transforming raw markup into color-coded text for easier reading and debugging. Users can paste or type their XML data directly into the interface, or load an XML file or URL for processing. The result is a visually formatted view that distinguishes tags, attributes, comments, and data elements through color and styling. In addition to basic highlighting, the tool offers theme selection, font size adjustment, and the ability to share or save the output. It is designed to handle complex XML structures while providing immediate visual feedback on syntax arrangement.
