What’s your quick way to make raw XML readable?

Question

Had an API response come back as one long XML line the other day, no indentation or structure visible. Makes debugging really annoying if you can’t see the tags clearly.

I usually paste the raw XML into an online formatter to pretty‑print it before digging in. One simple option I used recently is .toolsping.com, it formats instantly in the browser.

Do you use IDE formatting tools or browser‑based ones like this?
