How it works
How to use the XML to String
Paste or open XML
Paste your XML, drop a file onto the editor, or load the sample.
Adjust the options
Choose the output options that suit you.
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).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a string back into XML?
