What Change XML Syntax can do:

Change XML Syntax gives you hands-on control over your XML’s formatting. You can clean up tags by converting them to lowercase or uppercase, remove messy attributes with one switch, or even rename every tag in the document. It works instantly, gives you live feedback, and doesn’t need any uploads or parsing libraries. Want a barebones version of your markup? Easy. Want to rename everything to for an import script? Just type it in and go. It’s fast, simple, and completely in your browser.

Example:

Before:

<Note priority="high">
  <To>Tove</To>
  <From>Jani</From>
</Note>

Options selected:

  • Lowercase tags
  • Remove attributes

After:

<note>
  <to>Tove</to>
  <from>Jani</from>
</note>

Common Use Cases:

Change XML Syntax is great for normalizing tag styles, stripping out excess data, or prepping XML for use in other tools that require consistent naming. It’s useful for devs cleaning up generated XML, building import pipelines, or converting tags before doing diff or validation work.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before changing syntax, it’s smart to run Prettify XML so everything’s clean and structured. Then after the update, use Validate XML to make sure your edits didn’t break anything.
