Extract Text from XML Tool

How to Use This XML Text Extractor

This tool makes working with XML files simple - just paste your content, choose how you want to format the output, and get clean text in seconds. Perfect for developers, data analysts, or anyone dealing with structured documents.

1. Paste your XML - Insert XML content or upload an XML file
2. Choose extraction options:
   • Preserve whitespace: Keep original formatting and spacing
   • Include attributes: Extract text from XML attributes too
   • Show tag names: Include XML tag names with extracted text
   • Remove empty lines: Clean up the output by removing blank lines
   • Filter by tags: Only extract text from specific XML tags
3. Click "Extract Text" - Process the XML and extract all text content
4. Copy or download - Save your extracted text in various formats

Common Use Cases

Whether you're working with configuration files, API responses, or document formats, this extractor handles all your XML needs. Here's what people commonly use it for:

• Extracting readable content from XML documents and feeds
• Converting XML configuration files to readable format
• Processing RSS/Atom feeds to get article content
• Extracting data from XML exports and backups
• Converting XML documentation to plain text
• Processing SOAP responses and API data
• Extracting metadata from XML-based formats

Why This Tool Stands Out

Unlike basic XML parsers, this tool gives you full control over how text gets formatted. You can preserve spacing for code files, include attribute values for complete data, or clean up documents for easier reading.

• Flexible formatting options for different use cases
• Supports multiple export formats (TXT, JSON, CSV, HTML)
• Handles large files with performance optimizations
• Real-time preview of your extraction results
• Simple interface for both beginners and experts
