XML to Text Converter Online

What is XML to text conversion?

This tool parses your XML in the browser and pulls out human-readable text: names, values, and other character data without the angle brackets. Use it to preview feed content, compare data-only views, or drop structured snippets into documents.

How extraction modes differ

One chunk per line walks the tree, trims each text node, and prints non-empty pieces on separate lines.
Single line joins those same chunks with spaces.
Raw textContent uses the browser’s flattened text for the root element (spacing may collapse).

Limits

Input must be well-formed XML; malformed markup returns a parse error.
Very large files can be slow; prefer focused fragments.
Processing happens only in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this remove XML tags only, or also attributes?

Output is text content only. Attribute values are not listed unless they also appear as text inside elements, depending on your document.

Will CDATA sections appear in the result?

Yes. CDATA text is part of the document’s character data and is included like any other text node.

Can I convert text back to XML?

This utility is one-way. Rebuilding XML needs a serializer or a dedicated markup tool.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Parsing and extraction run entirely in your browser.
