Quick Start

XML files are often hard to read due to messy formatting. First, visit HeronTool's XML Formatter, paste your XML code, and click 'Format' to get an indented, clear version for structure inspection. To compress and reduce size, use XML Compressor to remove unnecessary whitespace—ideal for network transfer.

Conversion & Validation

HeronTool supports XML to JSON and vice versa. In the conversion tool, select the target format, paste content, and click 'Convert'. After conversion, use XPath Tester to validate data paths: enter an XPath expression, and the tester highlights matching nodes, ensuring correctness.
