How it works

How to use the XML to String

  1. Paste or open XML

    Paste your XML, drop a file onto the editor, or load the sample.

  2. Adjust the options

    Choose the output options that suit you.

  3. Copy or download the String

    The output updates as you type. Invalid input is highlighted with the exact line and column.

Three output styles

Single line escapes quotes and newlines into one literal. Concatenated lines keeps each XML line on its own line joined with +. Multi-line literal uses the language’s raw or text-block syntax (template literals, Java text blocks, C# verbatim strings, Python triple quotes, PHP nowdoc, Go raw strings).
